Revolutionizing Medical Librarianship: The Transformative Power of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing Information Access and Clinical Decision-Making

A special guest will hold the webinar: Fabio di Bello, Professor at CAST (Center for Advanced Studies and Technology), University “G. D’Annunzio” Chieti-Pescara, Chieti – Italy. As we know, artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the landscape of medical librarianship, bringing unprecedented changes in how healthcare professionals access, manage and utilize information. This presentation explores the transformative impact of AI on medical librarianship, highlighting its role in enhancing information retrieval, personalizing resource recommendations, and supporting evidence-based clinical decision-making. By leveraging advanced AI technologies such as natural language processing, machine learning, and predictive analytics, medical librarians can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of information services. We will examine real-world applications, from AI-powered literature searches to automated data curation and discuss the evolving role of medical librarians as key players in the digital health ecosystem. Attendees will gain insights into how AI is redefining traditional practices, empowering medical librarians to meet the growing demands of the modern healthcare environment and ultimately improving patient outcomes. The session is organised by the Evaluation and Metrics special interest group from the European Association for Health Information and Libraries (EAHIL).
