Abstract

Background

The emergence of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT in November 2022 has garnered substantial attention across diverse disciplines. Despite widespread adoption in various sectors, the exploration of its application in libraries, especially within the medical domain, remains limited.

Aims/Objectives

Many areas of interest remain unexplored like ChatGPT in medical libraries and this review aims to synthesise what is currently known about it to identify gaps and stimulate further research.

Methods

Employing Cooper's integrative review method, this study involves a comprehensive analysis of existing literature on ChatGPT and its potential implementations within library contexts.

Results

A systematic literature search across various databases yielded 166 papers, with 30 excluded for irrelevance. After abstract reviews and methodological assessments, 136 articles were selected. Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative checklist further narrowed down to 29 papers, forming the basis for the present study. The literature analysis reveals diverse applications of ChatGPT in medical libraries, including aiding users in finding relevant medical information, answering queries, providing recommendations and facilitating access to resources. Potential challenges and ethical considerations associated with ChatGPT in this context are also highlighted.

Conclusion

Positioned as a review, our study elucidates the applications of ChatGPT in medical libraries and discusses relevant considerations. The integration of ChatGPT into medical library services holds promise for enhancing information retrieval and user experience, benefiting library users and the broader medical community.

医学图书馆中的 ChatGPT、可能性和未来方向：综述。

背景：2022 年 11 月，人工智能聊天机器人 ChatGPT 的出现引起了各学科的广泛关注。尽管在各行各业得到了广泛应用，但对其在图书馆，尤其是在医学领域应用的探索仍然有限：本综述旨在综合目前已知的相关信息，找出差距并促进进一步的研究：方法：本研究采用库珀的综合综述法，对有关 ChatGPT 的现有文献及其在图书馆环境中的潜在应用进行了全面分析：在各种数据库中进行了系统的文献检索，共检索到 166 篇论文，其中 30 篇因不相关而被排除。经过摘要审查和方法评估后，选出了 136 篇文章。批判性评价技能计划定性检查表进一步将范围缩小到 29 篇论文，为本研究奠定了基础。文献分析揭示了 ChatGPT 在医学图书馆中的多种应用，包括帮助用户查找相关医学信息、回答询问、提供建议和促进资源获取。此外，还强调了在此背景下与 ChatGPT 相关的潜在挑战和伦理考虑因素：作为一篇综述，我们的研究阐明了 ChatGPT 在医学图书馆中的应用，并讨论了相关的注意事项。将 ChatGPT 整合到医学图书馆服务中有望增强信息检索和用户体验，使图书馆用户和更广泛的医学界受益。
