Abstract

Hospital librarianship is a profession in search of a new paradigm. The librarians at West Virginia Health Sciences Library Charleston Division are attempting to create that paradigm by using technology to deliver services to offsite facilities in new ways, advancing the role of the medical librarian in the hospital setting instead of retreating, going to their clientele instead of waiting for their clientele to come to them. This article describes two projects that use high-tech to deliver high-touch.
