The Silicon Valley Medical Librarians are known for the speed that we deliver information (articles, book chapters, literature search results), and the accuracy and quality of the information provided.
In 2025, we delivered 3,460 documents and saved approximately 960 hours of clinician time by conducting librarian-mediated searches.
The Ask the Librarian online request forms are available on the MySutter intranet and One Search portal. Requests are filled according to priority: Urgent ASAP or less than 24 hours Rush 2 business days (M-F) or less Normal 5 business days (M-F) or less Print Books: The librarians do not purchase print books for clinical staff. However, there are small collections of print materials available at the Palo Alto and Burlingame locations.
