Summary:Bass et al present the results of the Nursing and Allied Health Research Section Allied Health Librarians Survey. As they were interested in learning more about members who only worked with allied health fields, which they defined as anything that was outside of nursing, nurse practitioners, doctorate of nursing practice, and certified registered nurse anesthetists, one of the most striking results was the fact that only 7 of the 64 members were allied health only liaisons. Most of the allied health librarians (AHLs) reported they do not currently round with a major barrier being a lack of connection to a hospital. Nursing librarians (NLs) reported some engagement with rounding, usually as part of nursing huddles or morning reports. Both NLs and AHLs reported supporting their departments in accreditation. As shared above, both groups have interesting and unique opportunities available based on their role as liaison.
