During this time, one additional research group was added.Program AssessmentWhether in clinical or research settings, the literature notes the difficulties librarians haveencountered when trying to evaluate the impact of embedded librarian services. Previous reviewsof clinical librarian services have discussed the challenge of identifying direct impacts,suggesting that forming casual links between information services and impacts on majoroutcomes such as improved patient care is “difficult if not impossible.”52 However, Brettle etal.’s systematic review of the effectiveness of clinical librarian services concludes that clinicallibrarians have created a satisfactory service model
