Lifelong learning is a key issue for the nursing profession. The literature reports effective collaboration between nurses and health sciences librarians to develop evidence-based programs for hospital staff nurses. In this collaboration the nurse provides the real-time practice issues and the health sciences librarian provides the expertise to retrieve the information from the literature. This column presents a current overview of the participation of health sciences librarians, particularly hospital librarians, in the development of programs and resources for nurses' lifelong learning.
