| Annotation | A wide range health sector information services are evaluated and from a variety of perspectives: evaluating the impact of services to clinicians in hospital settings and the in community; the impact of various modes of delivery of information literacy training; and the impact of patient information services. Authors from Canada, Australia, the US and the UK report impact studies conducted in these and other countries, using a wide range of methods, from the rigorously quantitative to the openly ethnographic. They consider issues of method, the need for health librarians to have expertise in a range of methods, apply rigorous valid measures, and develop standardised evaluation models so impacts can be compared, and evidence of the effectiveness of services more easily identified.
