It frequently happens that physicians do not have adequate skills or enough time for searching and evaluating evidence needed in their everyday practice. Medical librarian can serve as a mediator in enabling physicians to utilize the potential offered by contemporary evidence-based medicine. The Central Medical Library (CML) at University of Zagreb, School of Medicine, designed a web-based information service aimed at the promotion of evidence-based practice in the Croatian medical community. The users can ask for a help in finding information on their clinical problems. A responsible librarian will analyse the problem, search information resources and evaluate the evidence. The answer is returned to the user by an e-mail. In the 2008-2012 period 166 questions from 12 clinical fields were received and most of them (36.1%) came from internal medicine doctors. The share of treatment-related questions was 70.5%. In the setting of underdeveloped ICT infrastructure and inadequate EBM resources availability, such information service can help in transfer of scientific evidence into the everyday clinical practice.
医生常常缺乏足够的技能或时间来搜索和评估日常临床实践所需的证据。医学图书馆员可以作为调解人，帮助医生利用当代循证医学所提供的潜力。萨格勒布大学医学院的中央医学图书馆（CML）设计了一项基于网络的信息服务，旨在促进克罗地亚医学界的循证实践。用户可以寻求帮助，以获取有关其临床问题的信息。一位负责的图书馆员会分析问题、搜索信息资源并评估证据。答案将通过电子邮件返回给用户。在2008年至2012年期间，共收到来自12个临床领域的166个问题，其中大部分（36.1%）来自内科医生。与治疗相关的问题占比70.5%。在信息通信技术基础设施欠发达且循证医学资源供应不足的情况下，此类信息服务有助于将科学证据转化为日常临床实践。
