Utilization of a Librarian in a Pharmacy Laboratory Course.

This report describes utilization of a librarian in a pharmacy laboratory course over two academic years. Library instruction evolved from a simple drug information review session to case-based, hands-on instruction, collaboratively taught with pharmacy faculty. Additionally, LibChat, an online chat service, was piloted in the pharmacy laboratory course so the librarian could be available to students at their point-of-need. Development of the drug information review sessions across both years, student utilization of LibChat, lessons learned, and ideas for improvement for future iterations of the course are described.
