Emerging roles of health sciences librarians: academic library centrality
Abstract
The emerging roles of health sciences librarians are considered within the context of changes and challenges facing both the profession of librarianship and the library. Suggests that the emerging – and increasingly relevant – roles of health sciences librarians contribute to the establishment of health sciences libraries’ centrality within their institutions. Rationale is provided for library and information science professionals outside the health sciences arena to maintain awareness of emerging roles, evolving status, and contributions of their colleagues.
