Assisting with Recruitment, Retention and Instruction

摘要

Information professionals and librarians often attempt to characterize the value of their services in economic, financial or academic terms, such as time or money saved, contracts won, projects completed, or grades improved. But the three theme articles in this issue show that librarians and information professionals can have a much more personal impact—helping supervisors find the best candidates for jobs, developing connections with students so they stay in school and earn their degree, and teaching doctors and other health care professionals to evaluate the existing research on specific medical conditions and use this knowledge to develop treatment guidelines that improve patient care.
