Information literacy is defined as the individual's ability to collect information from appropriate sources, evaluate the quality of information obtained, and organize and use the information effectively for specific purposes. Today's researchers should be information-literacy not only in their areas of expertise but also in changing circumstances surrounding their research environment. This article provides information that researchers must know to conduct out clinical research and write papers.Recent changes in prevalent contribution rules for academic articles called “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, ” implementation of the personal information protection law in Japan, Evidence-based Medicine (EBM), and guidelines for writing structured abstracts and clinical research papers would directly affect the research process. Researchers must be aware of the changes and comply with the new rules or their papers will not be accepted by major medical journals. They must be more information-literate in a broader sense than ever.

The qualification system for the library profession in Japan, regulated in the library law, mainly stipulates the requirements for becoming public librarians and does not endorse expertise in any other types of libraries. Under such circumstances, the Japan Medical Association, the JMLA, has provided training courses, research grants, scholarships, and awards to develop professional health sciences librarians. The JMLA launched its health sciences librarians credentialing program called the JMLA Health Sciences Information Professionals, JHIP, in 2004. The JHIP program was designed by modeling on its counterpart in the United States, the Academy of Health Science Information Professionals, AHIP, which was started in 1989 by the Medical Library Association, MLA. In this paper, authors described distinctive aspects of the JHIP by comparing it with the AHIP and reviewing three surveys on the AHIP conducted by the MLA and some researchers to debate some issues that a professional credentialing program may have, with the hope of seeking the appropriate direction JHIP program should take. The findings from the comparison and the review of the surveys are: the strength of AHIP is based on distinctive professional competence; related marketing/promotion activities; and continuous effort on evaluation and adjustment of the program as a part of MLA's integrated professional development program.
