JM2010 Contributed Paper: Evidence Based Bioethics – Available Tools and Resources for Librarians
Posted on February 2, 2010 by kcarlson | 1 Comment
By Debra Schneider, Librarian, Scottsdale Healthcare, Scottsdale, AZ.
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).
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.
Brian and Linda also generously provided a number of resources for those of us who may face research questions about evidence-based bioethics:
- Justcrim (Brian’s extensive compilation of cases and materials – see Bioethics column on right)
- Linda’s bookmarks on evidence-based bioethics
- Legal Information Institute
- Cornell University Law School Social Science Research Network (where pre-publication copies of many social science articles are available without cost).
