DocToBib: PubMed, the physician and the librarian... or the fantastic story of doctors and librarians producing videos together

Abstract

The story began during Ludovic Hery’s residency. He was asked by his friends to help them with using PubMed. He had the idea to produce short tutorials on video; he realised that for students it was an appropriate way of learning, especially for information retrieval.L. Hery shot 28 tutorials about PubMed and Zotero in the first place, with the help of other residents and health librarians. The project is now carried out by health librarians from French University libraries. Called DocToBib, it relies on a YouTube channel, whose success is real, thanks to social networks. DocToBib is an example of a successful collaboration involving physicians and health librarians.
