Health science libraries serve doctors, nurses, students, patients and communities by providing reference services and access to medical information. These libraries must address privacy concerns under HIPAA and ensure patient safety, as errors could have fatal consequences. Trends in health science libraries include a focus on evidence-based medicine through literature reviews and primary sources, as well as clinical medical librarianship where librarians function as part of the medical team using skills in both information and medical sciences.
