Abstract
The establishment of an Evidence-based Practice (EBP) project repository for clinical nurses to access via a hospital intranet allowed for hospital librarians to collaborate with nurse scientists. This project resulted in not only a repository but also led to the involvement of librarians earlier in the research process and led to more options to track how the completed projects were utilized by clinicians. These two outcomes in particular allowed for further involvement of librarians in the Magnet reaccreditation process. Additionally, the contributions of the librarians raised awareness of the roles they can take in EBP and Magnet efforts.
