An informationist, an individual with training in library and information science as well as subject expertise, is uniquely poised to “make the critical link between the huge body of information hidden away in the medical literature and the information needed at the point of care.”[1] We invite you to ask the POGOe informationist, Carol Howe, MD, MLS, of the Information Services at Arizona Health Sciences Library and the Section of Geriatrics, University of Arizona College of Medicine, clinical questions that have arisen in your medical practices or educational settings that seem to have no ready answer. She will explore the literature and pen a response based on the timeliest evidence-based resources.
