Abstract
This paper reviews the implementation of digital libraries via communities of practice and an outreach clinical librarian. 26 In-depth interviews were conducted across 8 different clinical teams within a London based primary care trust. The interviews and an observational study of the team and information mediator collaborating during a drop-in session, took place over a 6 month period. The findings reveal how effective implementation procedures can produce a positive user motivation towards digital libraries and evidenced based medicine (EBM) that previously was perceived as a chore. An information facilitator implemented within the community which could adapt to and change practices according to individual and group needs was seen as empowering to both the community and the individual.
