College health center personnel are no different from other health practitioners in their need for medical information. To help meet this need, the McKinley Health Center, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, developed a partnership in 1997 with the Library of the Health Sciences-Urbana, a regional site library of the University of Illinois at Chicago campus. This partnership led to the adoption of circuit librarianship, a dynamic outreach model, to enhance access to health information for McKinley Health Center personnel. A circuit librarian consults with health center personnel during regularly scheduled on-site visits to the center and its satellite office. Upon returning to the resource library, the circuit librarian conducts research for clinical information on behalf of the center's personnel, then sees that articles, books, and relevant Web sites are identified and delivered to assist in answering questions regarding disease management, drug therapy, wellness, and health administration.
大学健康中心的工作人员在获取医学信息方面的需求与其他医疗从业者并无不同。为满足这一需求，伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的麦金利健康中心于1997年与伊利诺伊大学芝加哥校区的地区分馆——厄巴纳健康科学图书馆建立了合作关系。这种合作促成了巡回图书馆服务模式的采用，这是一种动态的推广模式，旨在改善麦金利健康中心工作人员获取健康信息的渠道。巡回馆员会在定期安排的现场访问中，前往健康中心及其卫星办公室与工作人员进行沟通。回到资源图书馆后，巡回馆员会代表中心工作人员开展临床信息研究，然后查找并提供文章、书籍及相关网站，以协助解答有关疾病管理、药物治疗、健康养生和卫生管理方面的问题。
