This paper addresses the explosion of information and the advances in medicine that have contributed to the rise of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) which has been changing medical practice towards the constant use of current scientific evidence in the clinical decision-making. EBM can also expand the role of the information professional beyond information search, allowing his/her involvement in the selection and critical evaluation of the literature, according to the clinical librarianship model where the librarian is considered an integral part of multidisciplinary health teams.
