This is not an “old school” librarian job.  The VISN 1 Knowledge Library is a virtual resource available across the VISN inside the firewall and across the world from any computer 24/7/365.  Much of our work is virtual across the New England as well as on the ground working with clinical and research groups. 

 

The knowledge team promotes competent evidence-based, patient-centered care through teaching information literacy skills to clinicians, trainees, and researchers; providing information at the point of care and need, participating on research teams, clinical rounds, and more.  The team provides virtual reference assistance, and continuously trains users to access and search resources on their own.

 

This is an opportunity to develop services, programs and collaborations with users while accessing the VISN 1 Knowledge Library consisting of 80+ databases, 8,000+ unembargoed full text journals, 20,000+ e-books, and the support of fellow professionals in the Veteran Affairs Library Network.
