Contributed Paper: Evidence-Based Bioethics – Available Resources and Tools for Librarians.\u00a0 Linda Suk-Ling Murphy, Health Sciences Librarian; Brian R. Williams, Librarian, University of California-Irvine Libraries, Irvine, CA.<\/a><\/p>\n

The definition of evidence-based bioethics remains subject to debate among bioethicists themselves. Hence, how would you respond to a request to lead a discussion on that topic to senior faculty, local physicians, ethicists, lawyers and other experts in the medical ethics field? Enthusiastically (and with extensive preparation) according to medical librarian, Linda Suk-Ling Murphy and law librarian, Brian Williams, who recently received this invitation from the Bioethics-Biolaw Discussion Group (BEBLDG).<\/p>\n

Today’s presentation summarized the key definitions Linda and Brian used in the discussion with the BEBLDG regarding EBP and bioethics. Integral to their success was the use of a case scenario to effectively guide the BEBLDG through a lively but focused debate.<\/p>\n

Brian and Linda also generously provided a number of resources for those of us who may face research questions about evidence-based bioethics:<\/p>\n
