Bing Chat
is public large-language model (LLM), that is integrated with ChatGPT 4, is hosted by Microsoft, and is best used on the Microsoft Edge browser. The OpenAI and Microsoft relationship is confusing to me, but I thought I would play with Bing Chat anyway. (Here is an article and diagram on their confusing partnership)
Before I started playing with Bing Chat for this blog I looked at the ZDNet article, “What is Bing Chat? Here’s Everything You Need to Know.”
The basics:
Bing Chat supposedly can do citations
There are no restrictions on date. If it was online today, it can be found
Lots of plu...

Little Stories on a Medical Librarian ’ s Impact
I want to thank the many people who have shared some of their impact stories. I thought I would post these as little vignettes to serve as a sort of “Chicken Soup for the Librarian’s Soul.” While these stories may short, the impact of the medical librarian is not.
All stories are told in the first person. They are not my stories, they are the stories from the emails librarians have sent me.

Can a Librarian ’ s Research Impact Patient Care?
I have been a medical librarian for over 25 years. (Funny, it I don’t feel that old.) In all those years I have been asked all sorts of questions about my job. The questions pretty much fall into 2 categories.
Why do we need a medical librarian?What do you do as a medical librarian?
Since I find that most people form their idea of a librarian based off of their experiences from school or the public library, I understand that the area of medical librarianship is foreign to them.
One of the answers I provide to inquiring minds is: “We help doctors and nurses find information to better treat patients....

Hospital Libraries are More than a Cost Center
The cost of health care is expensive. Hospitals want to treat patients in a cost efficient manner without sacrificing patient care. It is a balancing act. The hospital librarian can help with that balancing act.
An article published in Health Information & Libraries Journal, describes how clinical librarians providing information to hospital staff in the critical care unit can improve patient care, time savings, and may generate a positive return on investment.
The study was conducted in the United Kingdom, so there may be differences depending on the country your hospital library is in. Over the course of 15 mo...

Thankful Patient Smiles at Library Staff During Covid-19
During the Spring of 2020 medical libraries were struggling to balance the need to provide information with the need to be safe from covid-19. The response was varied across the profession. Some hospital libraries remained open, some were open to a limited number of people, others were staffed but closed to patrons, while others were physically closed as staff worked remotely.
On June of 2020, the library received a call from the spouse of a thankful patient. The caller wanted thank the library staff coming in to “man the library” which allowed her to get the books she needed during the pandemic. She wanted...

Medical Librarian Research Contributions to Guidelines Improves Patient Care
Doctors, nurses, and other members of the patient care team are faced with problems on a daily basis. Some of these problems are easier to solve than others. Some of these require more research to better understand and solve the problem. Clinical guidelines require research to find the highest quality of evidence with the most current, relevant data to determine the appropriate standard of care. Medical librarians are experts at providing that type of research.
In today’s post on a librarian’s impact in hospitals and patients, I would like to present the research done by a librarian at the Oncology Nursing S...

Doctors Still Need the Paper to Help Treat Patients
Librarians often encounter people questioning the need for libraries when “everything is already online.” While a great deal of information is online, there is still a lot out there that isn’t but is still needed to help treat patients.
Here is an example where an older article was necessary to help a doctor treat a patient. (Below is a thank you email, the library received one Monday.)
Dear Librarians, I requested an obscure article from 1981 on Friday night and received it today – photocopied by hand from a bound volume by your colleagues at the University of Cincinnati. The article has valuable...

Change of Focus
I have kind of been on hiatus with my blog. As you all know a lot has been going on. The changes that covid-19 has brought to libraries, librarians, the office environment, home environment, socially, professionally, etc. has really kind of made things mentally topsy-turvy for me. As a result it has been hard for me to write, I have a ton of half written posts that seem to fizzle midway through as I get distracted or lack inspiration to finish.
However, what has been hanging out it in the back of my mind has been an interest to reshape the blog to focus more on the impact medical librarians have on patient care, the ed...

My NCBI Login Changes in June
Tuesday, I got an email regarding Important Changes to NCBI Accounts Coming in 2021. Basically, NCBI will be transitioning away from NCBI managing logins (My NCBI, SciENcv, and MyBibliography) require people to login to their My NCBI using federated account credential from eRA Commons, Google login, or a university or institutional point of access to login.
While I get that NCBI wants to be out of the password management game, I have some concerns regarding the impact this might have.
The eRA Commons is primarily used by people and institutions for grants. “The eRA Commons is online interface where grant appli...

Metadata Madness
Over the last year my library has been working on implementing a discovery product for our community hospitals’ website and it has been quite an adventure.
We wanted to create a better website to help unlock the siloed information that our library subscribes to. Library users have no clue that Hurst’s the Heart, is only available electronically via McGraw Hill. They could check the catalog, but they don’t. They go on to the library website and type the title in the search box. Now, as librarians, we know that unless you have a discovery system for that search box, the results come from the content on ...
