EBMからEBL/EBLIPへ（前編）：医学図書館員によるEvidence-Based Practiceの支援

摘要

This article describes librarians' activities to support Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) and compares those with their efforts to implement Evidence-Based Librarianship/Evidence-Based Library and Information Practice (EBL/EBLIP) within the information services field. Librarians in some western countries have already expanded their roles, including clinical settings for EBM, and have been involved in a wide range of activities that focus on research for EBL/EBLIP. The author discusses the feasibility of EBL/EBLIP in Japan in terms of convincing library administration to facilitate and provide these advanced services by research-oriented librarians. In conclusion, more effort is needed to encourage librarians to be empowered through research activities for the support of EBP and its application to their own professional practice. Part 1 describes librarians' activities in EBM as Evidence-Based Practice for their customers.%欧米と日本でのEvidence-Based Medicine（EBM）とEvidence-Based Librarianship（EBL）/Evidence-Based Libraryrnand Informatjon Practice（EBKUP）における，医学図書館員を中心とした図書館員の活動を対比しながら概観rnした。欧米では，EBMにおける医療従事者の支援活動が臨床の場にまで拡大され，EBL/EBLIPにおいても調rn査研究を中心とした幅広い活動が積極的に行われていることがわかった。日本でもEBL/EBLIPの適用を通じrnて図書館の活性化が可能か，その課題と展望についても考察した。前編では，EBMにおける医学図書館員のrnEvidence -Based Practice（EBP）支援活動について述べる。
