ABSTRACT

Hospital nurses have a wide range of informational needs from research, education, and patient care to applying for and maintaining Magnet status but have very little time to effectively search. Informationists collaborated with nursing leadership to develop a social media tool to support the information needs of nursing staff. Using a blog tool, informationists developed a format for receiving a question from a nurse, formatting the response, and including the search tools and terms used in the blog posts. The tool is used as a searchable repository of nursing research questions. Since the blog was introduced in late 2010, there have been 257 entries and over 12,000 views, presently averaging seven views a day.
