Five years of librarian perspectives

More than five years ago, BMJ and Doody Enterprises began interviewing North American health science librarians. The goal was simple for both organizations – to connect with the librarian community through story-sharing. As the years passed and more librarians shared their candid and insightful perspectives, we realized that this collection had captured important trends and insights in health science librarianship. With topics ranging from collection management to information literacy, marketing the library to user needs and, of course, COVID-19; the narratives from these experienced librarians represent a range of

backgrounds and members of the health science community – from physicians to medical researchers, nurses to patients. We are delighted to share a handful of quotes from these interviews, organized by key topics relevant to the health science community. We hope you find them interesting, inspiring and enjoy the humor. Thank you to the librarians who generously shared their thoughts, ideas and journeys with us. Enjoy! BMJ & Doody’s
