Abstract
Describes evaluation of the LISCE (Library and Information Support for Clinical Effectiveness) project, at University College London Hospital Trust (2000‐2003). The evaluation used an action research framework as the researcher was also the clinical librarian in two clinical teams. Methods included a reflective practice diary kept by the researcher, questionnaires to all 104 staff in the two departments involved, interviews with ten staff. Findings indicated that the concept of clinical librarianship was accepted by most staff, but team working routines, e.g. for clinical guideline development, took some time to establish. Clinical librarians may need a different set of skills from other health librarians.Keywords
