My dissertation will focus on the information behaviors of health science librarians in the practice setting. I intend to complete the work by Fall 2009. My questions are these:

• What are the information behaviors of library practitioners in health science libraries?
• What is the correlation, if any, between experience, task-related skills, and approach to gap-bridging by health science librarians? 
• What, if any, barriers are encountered during the processes associated by health science  librarians in sensemaking for work tasks?
• Is the currently proposed model for EBLIP a good ‘fit’ for LIS practitioners’ information behaviors?
