It depends.
Librarian should be aware of what is involved with critically appraising an article so that they can support the practice of EBM. That support could be in doing literature searches that filter for the proper study design or providing EBM resources that already critically appraise the evidence (ACP Journal Club, Cochrane, etc.) or in teaching efficient searching skills that help retrieve the best level of evidence for the type of question being asked. Some librarians go further and actually review articles but that depends on the your skills, the type of service you are offering and the needs of your patrons. EBM offers lots of opportunities for Librarians but you need to work with the clinicians and nurses and decide together what services are needed and then make sure you are well trained and educated to provide them.

Laura, That's a tricky one; you want to be part of the team, but you don't want family or patients to mistake you for a clinician; in our institution the doctors wear the white coats (medical students short jackets; interns and residents the longer style) and the other healthcare worker wear a variety of colors; I think you have to find a compromise; the important thing is how does the rest of the team treat you.
