It addresses performance of clinical librarian, presenting a historical-theoretical reflection on the role of this professional in the context of health decision-making to support Evidence-Based Medicine in the hospital environment. It describes how Evidence-Based Medicine emerged, its development in Brazil, the types of studies, and the Librarian's role in this context. It brings a historical account of the emergence of the Clinical Librarian in the United States and initiatives in Brazil in Hospitals and also Health Technology Assessment. In Brazil, it is still necessary to broaden the discussion on this subject due to the lack of reports of practices in the literature. Library and Information Science schools need to adapt their curricula to new disciplines that provide the necessary training for librarians in hospitals.
