This article provides a comprehensive summary of clinical librarian service models in the US, Canada, and the UK from a cross-sectional study. An online survey received 182 responses from clinical librarians in hospital (62%), academic (26%), and other (10%) libraries. These clinical librarians shared the services they provide, patrons they work with, and their perceptions of the value they add to clinical environments. Overall, this study quantifies the services offered most frequently by clinical librarians, the services felt to be most valuable, and the variety of health care clientele whom clinical librarians serve. These findings have implications for current clinical librarians, libraries and health care institutions, and for those who may become clinical librarians in the future.
本文通过一项横断面研究全面总结了美国、加拿大和英国的临床图书馆员服务模式。一项在线调查收到了来自医院图书馆（62%）、学术图书馆（26%）和其他图书馆（10%）的182名临床图书馆员的回复。这些临床图书馆员分享了他们提供的服务、合作的 patrons 以及他们对自身为临床环境所增添价值的看法。总体而言，本研究量化了临床图书馆员最常提供的服务、被认为最有价值的服务以及临床图书馆员所服务的各类医疗保健客户群体。这些发现对当前的临床图书馆员、图书馆和医疗保健机构以及未来可能成为临床图书馆员的人都具有启示意义。
