Evidence-based medicine resources tool kit revisited.

Medical librarians ensure high-quality evidence is made available to health care professionals in an efficient manner. As electronic resources proliferate and evolve, and given the lack of practical guidelines or tools that can guide clinicians’ questions, finding authoritative information at the time of need is a considerable barrier for clinicians. Since its publication in 2008, the evidence-based medicine (EBM) resources tool kit has been used by physicians and medical students as a practical teaching and clinical decision-making tool in a number of national and international institutions.1,2 In the original EBM resources tool kit, the resources were based on what should be available in a core hospital library collection. The newly revised tool kit contains updates to electronic resources and an image legend that indicates which resources are open access, as well as which resources are accessible via supplementary mobile apps.3 Since its inception, the EBM resources tool kit has evolved in 2 ways. The integration of the 6S Pyramid has transformed the structure and rationale of the EBM tool kit tiers, and new electronic resources and tools have been embedded in the research offerings. A key update to the EBM resources tool kit is the integration of the 6S Pyramid in the hierarchy of medical evidence. Linked scope notes define each resource according to the 6S Pyramid, while recognizing there is a lack of “integrated computerized decision support systems” at the top of the 6S Pyramid in a Canadian context.4 Libraries license newly offered publisher packages that might not be integrated into a traditional online library catalog or discovery layer. A researcher would need to know which publisher package contains which core electronic resources. The EBM resources tool kit makes evidence-based resources more accessible for physicians who need to locate clinical answers in a timely manner. The tool kit is an algorithm that serves as a critical pathway in the field of medical research and also functions as a teaching model.5 The electronic resources are categorized as summaries, synopses of syntheses, syntheses, synopses of single studies, and single studies.
