The JMLA Case Studies series was launched in the October issue of JMLA and using experts from librarianship, informatics, medicine, research and other areas as necessary, aims to "address challenging situations in health sciences information provision".
The first case study looks at a complex clinical question from the intensive care setting and follows the process of searching and synthesising the evidence for application to a critical patient care decision.
To supplement these case studies the editors have lauched a blog, JMLA Case Studies in Health Sciences Librarianship. To date, posts to the blog discuss: the appropriateness of using Wikipedia for understanding the medical concepts; several relevant articles published since the case was published; strategies for refining clinical questions and; the limitations of review articles.
This is an excellent initiative from the editors of JMLA and well worth following.
