Abstract:

The article describe Norwegian medical librarians thoughts about trends and future developments. Results from a survey among library staff in medical and healthcare libraries in Norway in June 2022 are presented. Digital development, teaching and research support were highly emphasised, as well as the importance of physical library space, collaboration with own institution, and the library’s impact. Furthermore, the librarians also registered their competency needs within teaching and education, first line support, open science, evidence syntheses, and in cooperation and management. Our project indicates that employees in medical and health libraries are aware of trends and competency needs. These competency needs are essential to be addressed to providers of continuing education in order to offer relevant library services.

Abstract:

Background: Concerns over scientific reproducibility have grown in recent years, leading the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to require researchers to address these issues in research grant applications. Starting in 2020, training grants were required to provide a plan for educating trainees in rigor and reproducibility. Academic medical centers have responded with different solutions to fill this educational need. As experienced instructors with expertise in topics relating to reproducibility, librarians can play a prominent role in providing trainings, classes, and events to educate investigators and trainees, and bolstering reproducibility in their communities. Case Presentations: This special report summarizes efforts at five institutions to provide education in reproducibility to biomedical and life sciences researchers. Our goal is to expand awareness of the range of approaches in providing reproducibility services in libraries. Conclusions: Reproducibility education by medical librarians can take many forms. These specific programs in reproducibility education build upon libraries’ existing collaborations, with funder mandates providing a major impetus. Collaborator needs shaped the exact type of educational or other reproducibility support and combined with each library’s strengths to yield a diversity of offerings based on capacity and interest. As demand for and complexity of reproducibility education increases due to new institutional and funder mandates, reproducibility education will merit special attention.

Abstract:

Medical libraries are dying. Or at least some specific sorts of medical libraries—independent institutional libraries, owned by historic organizations, in historic buildings, with large historic collections—are under serious threat of themselves becoming part of the past. To mitigate this threat, there is a need to rethink the nature of the “historic” medical library. This involves reconsidering the library’s relationship to medicine and the history of medicine as disciplines, defining what is important about the nature of the library as a physical space and of its collections as material things, and reevaluating its audiences. Digitization has a role to . . .

Abstract:

The relevance of the study. The digital revolution has had a significant effect on the functioning of libraries. Successful operation in the digital environment requires the improvement of the competitiveness of library services provided: libraries must be able to rethink their role, justify the value of their services for their own customers. Due to the increasing level of the Internet use among scientists, medical professionals, students, patients, community, medical libraries web-presence is of crucial importance. Websites serve as a digital gateway for library services and resources. The aim of the article is to study and present the current state of Ukrainian medical libraries service and to propose the digital services development strategy. The methodology. A content analysis was conducted over 21 Ukrainian and 5 foreign medical library websites. All data were collected within a month. Research data are presented in the form of tables and figures and analyzed using a simple method of percentages. The results. The findings show that many researched Ukrainian medical libraries are yet to exploit the full potential of the digital technologies in library service. The most common services: online public access catalog, virtual references services, identification UDC index, repository, electronic document delivery service (EDDS). Less than half (43%) of medical library sites in Ukraine are adapted to mobile devices. The most popular social media among medical libraries in Ukraine: Facebook (57%), Instagram (33%) and YouTube (29%). Over the last 5 years, libraries have become more active in offering web-based services and resources: plagiarism testing services, repositories, EDDS, virtual references services, identification UDC index. The main strategic objectives of the digital services development for medical libraries in Ukraine should be: increasing the web and social media presence, introducing mobile technologies, improving communication between the library and users, developing services to support research lifecycle, interdisciplinary partnership, support for information literacy of biomedical professionals and medical literacy of the community, developing competences of the medical librarians, corporate cooperation of the Ukrainian medical libraries system. The scientific topicality. The current state of Ukrainian medical libraries digital service was analyzed and compared with the state of five years ago and foreign academic medical libraries. Digital services development strategy was proposed. The practical significance. The study can be very interesting and important for medical librarians for upgrading, creation and support of relevant medical library services.

Abstract:

From the beginning of the 21st century, medical information was rapidly changed into electronic form. Such a trend brought in another radical change of purchasing pattern of medical libraries and the access pattern of the users. Within the last four or five years, many medical libraries have changed their purchasing pattern from printed to electronic form. More users are beginning to depend on websites. While this phenomenon caused the librarians to reexamine their traditional duties, the users were showered with abundance of unattested information. The Asan Medical Library of the University of Ulsan has indentified the role of the medical librarian in the electronic information era and developed available services for the needs of the users. All these services are accessible on the web, being effective for the last five years. This study strived to discover users’ pattern of utilizing the medical information, the frequency of users’ visit, the degree of their satisfaction, and the need for such services, in order to find a better way of serving the medical professionals and to identify the role of the medical librarian in influx of the electronic informational era.

Abstract:

Social media has revolutionized means and modes of communication and has created a new information culture. As such social media has to be integrated in promoting library services and resources of the university libraries. An attempt to explore the usage of social media by university libraries was undertaken. The objectives of the study were to explore social networking tool usage in libraries with special reference to Facebook, to investigate the academic librarians’ attitudes towards the usefulness of Facebook as a social media networking tool, and to explore the problems/ issues related to using Facebook as a library promotional tool. This study was designed using quantitative research methodology. The data collection methods were postal questionnaire and observations. All 19 national university librarians were taken as study population. Facebook Pages belongs two libraries were observed under the following criteria: date of establishment, number of fans, basic information of the respective library they share, promoting the library services, important web links given etc. The response rate of 94.7% overall may be considered sufficient to allow valid conclusions to be drawn. 66.7% of the librarians were in the opinion that using a Facebook page in promoting library resources and services is important and another 33.3% said it is very important. Only 16.7% of the libraries own a Facebook Page for libraries, and rest of the libraries (83.3%) do not own such a page.

Abstract:

Medical sciences constantly conduct research on combating diseases, healing, developing treatment methods, preventing diseases, and increasing the quality of health. Medical education, which supports and fosters medical sciences, has a very long history and it ensures that well-qualified and competent physicians are trained in the medical faculties of universities. States pay particular attention to health services and education in their health policies so as to have healthy individuals. Today, it is inevitable for medical librarians to participate in clinical practice, take part in scientific research activities, support medical education, and take part in university hospitals as an integral part of the medical team, both in the delivery of medical education and in the provision of quality health care. Physicians, academics, students, and other healthcare professionals should receive a high-quality medical education, as well as obtain accurate, up-to-date, evidence-based information about their field in the most economical, fastest and easiest way. Medical libraries provide the evidence-based, medical information and documentation required in this field. The services offered in medical libraries and the processes of managing medical information obtained through their own information resources have unique features. In the current study, the information seeking behaviors of medical library users, the characteristics of the information they seek and the information services offered in these libraries were analyzed using the method of description and literature review. To present the exemplary information services practices of some important and large medical libraries both in Turkey and the world, their web pages were analyzed by their content, collection, design, services and innovations. The change of medical libraries in the 21st century and the role of medical librarians were also analyzed. Based on the results, it can be highlighted that besides offering information management, medical libraries offer new services, while assuming new roles and responsibilities by drawing on evidence-based medicine and technological developments.

Abstract:

<p>Objective: To examine current and developing data management roles and opportunities for health librarians<br />to become involved in electronic medical record (EMR) initiatives. This paper focuses on the Canadian context but has implications farther afield. Methods: To accomplish a state-of-the-art review, searches were conducted in the library and information science databases (LISTA, LISA), biomedical databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE), and on the web for grey literature. Keywords included: clinical librarian, health science librarian, medical librarian, hospital librarian, medical informationist, electronic medical record, EMR, electronic health record, EHR, data management, data curation, health informatics, e-science, and e-science librarianship. MeSH subject headings used were: Medical Records Systems, Computerized/, Electronic Health Records/, and libraries/. Results: There is little evidence of Canadian health librarians’ current involvement in EMR initiatives, but examples from the United States indicate that health librarians’ participation is primarily in system implementation, creating links to the medical literature, and using EMRs to provide patient health information. Further roles for health librarians are emerging in this area as health librarians draw on their core competencies and learn from e-science librarianship to create new opportunities. Data management examples from e-science librarianship, such as building data dictionaries and data management plans and infrastructure, give further direction to health librarians’ involvement in EMRs. Conclusion: As EMRs gradually become more popular in Canada, Canadian health librarians should seek further opportunities for education and outreach to become more involved with these EMR initiatives.</p>

Abstract:

For over a millennium, libraries and library workers have advanced the knowledge of human science by building, preserving, and sharing collections and research. Historically, libraries have also aligned their institutional responsibilities to adhere to and support the values and virtues of oppressive and colonial practices. Library history has shown the mistreatments and denials of information access of marginalized groups. The history of libraries in the health and medical sciences reveals how these institutions and their workers have preserved and circulated research studies perpetuating racial science. This commentary highlights how such institutions shape and contribute to racial science in the field of medicine. By exploring the history of medicine through this lens, we examine how such institutions have been complicit in upholding racial science. We explore historical documents and archival collections that have been collected and preserved, particularly records and data of vulnerable groups, to advance the knowledge and understanding of the human body through the ideology of racial science. We argue that health and medical sciences librarians need to critically interrogate the racism in medical libraries and its history and address how health misinformation is common even in scholarly publications.

Abstract:

The great challenge medical library professionals are facing is how we evolve and respond to the emerging digital era. If we successfully understand and adapt to the emerging digital information environment, medical librarians/Health Information Professionals (HIPs) can play an even greater role in the advance in the health care of our nation and its residents. The opportunities and challenges are at the level we successfully responded to in the late 1960’s and the 1970’s under the leadership of the National Library of Medicine with its MEDLARS/Medline programs and Medical Library Assistance Act which enabled medical libraries to enter what I have referred to as The Golden Age of Medical Libraries. In this presentation, I focused on the transition of the health related print Knowledge-Based Information base to the emerging digital health related ecosystem. I review how this transition is being driven by evolving information technology. The development of “data driven health care” built on this emerging information ecosystem is being led by the National Library of Medicine’s 2017-2027 Strategic plan and the Medical Library Association’s programs in support of developing medical librarian/HIP’s training, skills, and services to support their users access and use of this rapidly expanding health information ecosystem. I then present a brief description of the digital health information ecosystem that is just starting to emerge and the emerging new roles and services HIPs and their libraries are developing to support effective institutional access and use.

Abstract:

Objective - Evidence based librarianship (EBL) springs from medical and academic origins. As librarians are tertiary educated (only occasionally with supplementary qualifications covering research and statistics) EBL has had an academic focus. The EBL literature has significant content from school and university perspectives, but has had little, if any, vocational content. This paper suggests a possible Evidence Based Librarianship context for vocational libraries. Methods - A multidisciplinary scan of evidence based literature was undertaken, covering medicine and allied health, librarianship, law, science and education. National and international vocational education developments were examined. The concept and use of evidence in vocational libraries was considered. Results - Library practice can generally benefit from generic empirical science methodologies used elsewhere. Different areas, however, may have different concepts of what constitutes evidence and appropriate methodologies. Libraries also need to reflect the evidence used in their host organisations. The Australian vocational librarian has been functioning in an evidence based educational sector: national, transportable, prescriptive, competency based and outcome driven Training Packages. These require a qualitatively different concept of evidence compared to other educational sectors as they reflect pragmatic, economic, employability outcomes. Conclusions - Vocational and other librarians have been doing research but need to be more systematic about design and analysis. Librarians need to develop ‘evidence literacy’ as one of their professional evaluation skills. Libraries will need to utilise evidence relevant to their host organisations to establish and maintain credibility, and in the vocational sector this is set in a competency based framework. Competency based measures are becoming increasingly relevant in school and university (including medical) education.

Abstract:

This research aims to measure the level of librarians’ human networks in places operated by a one-person librarian system among medical libraries in Korean hospitals and to analyze how the level of human network affects job satisfaction. After deriving the factors for measuring human network level and job satisfaction through literature reviews, the questionnaire was designed and the study was conducted using a web survey method using Google form. The survey was emailed to 60 one-person librarians in hospitals registered with the Korean Medical Library Association or the MEDLIS system, with a total of 31 librarians responding, with a response rate of 51.6%. The survey took two weeks from November 23 to December 7. Statistical verification to understand the relationship between the level of human network and job satisfaction of one-person librarian in hospitals showed that the higher the range (number of groups), frequency (frequency of contact), and intensity (degree of intimacy), excluding the size of the human network, the more positively the job satisfaction. Based on the results, in order to improve the job satisfaction of oneperson librarian in hospitals, the cooperative network to create a human network should be steadily expanded at the association, and hospital managers should be able to encourage librarians to actively participate in events including workshops. As a result, the association, managers, and librarians themselves should all make efforts to form an active human network.

Abstract:

Shortly after his retirement from medical practice in 1920, Dr. Casey Albert Wood (1856–1942), a Canadian-born medical doctor, founded the Emma Shearer Wood Library of Ornithology and the Blacker Library of Zoology at McGill University. These libraries eventually merged to form the Blacker Wood Library of Ornithology and Zoology, which is now the Blacker Wood Natural History Collection. I first encountered this remarkable collection and its long-serving librarian Eleanor MacLean (1947–2018) in the early 1990s. For thirty years, until her retirement in 2011, MacLean had ensured that researchers had access to the treasures preserved in one of North America’s finest special collections for the study of natural history. MacLean was heir to a line of dedicated librarians going back to Gerhard Lomer (1882–1970) and Henry Mousley (1865–1949), both of whom worked with Casey Wood to build these libraries.

A Review of: Quesenberry, A. C., Oelschlegel, S., Earl, M., Leonard, K., & Vaughn, C. J. (2016). The impact of library resources and services on the scholarly activity of medical faculty and residents. Medical Reference Services Quarterly, 35(3), 259-265. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02763869.2016.1189778 Abstract Objective – To assess the impact of academic medical library services and resources on information-seeking behaviours during the academic efforts of medical faculty and residents. Design – Value study derived from a 23-item survey. Setting – Public medical residency program and training hospital in Tennessee, USA. Subjects – 433 faculty and residents currently employed by or completing residency in an academic medical centre. Methods – Respondents completed a 23-question survey about their use of library resources and services in preparation for publishing, presenting, and teaching. The library services in the survey included literature searches completed by librarians and document delivery for preparation of publications, presentations, and lecture material. The survey also included questions about how resources were being accessed in preparation for scholarship. The survey sought information on whether respondents published articles or chapters or presented papers or posters in the previous three years. If respondents answered in the affirmative to one of the aforementioned methods of scholarship, they were provided with further questions about how they access library resources and whether they sought mediated literature search and document delivery services in preparation for their recent presentations and publications. The survey also included questions concerning what types of scholarly activity prompt faculty and residents to use online library resources. Main Results – The study was provided to 433 subjects, including 220 faculty and 213 residents, contacted through an email distribution list. The response rate to the survey was 15% (N=65). Residents comprised 35% of the respondents, and faculty at each of the three levels of tenure comprised 60%. The remaining 5% of respondents included PhD and non-clinical faculty within the graduate school. Over 50% of respondents reported use of library services in preparation for publishing and presenting. These library services were literature searches, document delivery, and accessing online resources. Faculty and residents reported use of PubMed first (71%) and most often, with 56% of respondents reporting weekly use, followed by Google or Google Scholar, with 20% of respondents reporting its use first and 23% of respondents reporting weekly use. However, regarding responses to the question concerning how journal articles are accessed, “using a search engine” was chosen most often, at almost 65%, followed by (in order) clicking library links in a database, contacting the library directly, searching the list of library e-journals, clicking publisher links in a database, using personal subscriptions, searching the library catalog, and using bookmarks saved in a web browser. Based on survey responses, faculty reported higher use of library services and resources than residents; however, residents reported higher use of library services and resources when preparing posters and papers for conferences and professional meetings. In addition, several comments spoke to the importance of the library for scholarly activity, many indicating the critical role of library assistance or resources in their academic accomplishments. Conclusion – This study provides evidence in support of library resources and services for medical faculty and residents, which contributes to discussions of the contributions of medical libraries. As hospital libraries close and academic medical libraries see reductions in budgets, this study contributes to the value of a library’s presence, as well as the role of the health sciences librarian in medical research and scholarly communication. This academic medical library was reported to be first and most often used, in comparison with other resources or none, in preparation for publication and presenting. The results of this and similar studies can contribute to the generalizability of its findings relating to the value of medical libraries. In addition, PubMed, UpToDate, and Google were the resources used most often by respondents, along with search engines and library links in databases. These findings can be incorporated into future outreach, marketing, and instructional curriculum for this library’s users. The survey results also provide additional support for the library’s role in the academic research lifecycle, and free-text comments about the critical role of library services furthered those findings. The authors state that further research is necessary for improving awareness of library resources and services in the role of scholarship at institutions.

Abstract:

The prospects presented by digital transformation holds the potential of greatly increasing the capacity of medical libraries, which in turn it will make it possible for these libraries to provide better services and increasing accessibility. But how can digital technologies be adopted in transforming medical libraries' services and operations, in the digital transformation era? This study looked at the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing digital technologies in medical libraries through digital transformation. The study thus reviewed literature on digital transformation of medical libraries services, as a way to support healthcare systems in South Africa. The chapter revealed that digital transformation has the potential to enhance libraries processes, practices, performance, and to stay relevant in their increasingly competitive environment.

Abstract:

In this environment of expanding information needs，rising journal cost, and curtailed financial resources, medical libraries must take advantages of interlibrary cooperation and document delivery services. There are exciting developments in transmission technology, from fax machine to scanners to the Internet. Theses changes require reevaluation of interlibrary loan(ILL) and document delivery systems on many levels, including pricing structures, work flow, and impact on collection development. As commercial vendors develop increasingly effective products, librarians can test, evaluate, and incorporate them into their ILL operations to enhance service to users and relieve the pressure to acquire new resources. In this way, librarians can move collection to the “just in case” practice of building an on-site collection to the “just in time” model of providing timely delivery of materials to users as needed. The purpose of this study is to establish a model of interlibrary cooperation system and cooperation plans for document delivery in Korean medical libraries. An interlibrary cooperation system and plans suggested in this study will help medical libraries to share medical periodicals efficiently and relieve the pressure to acquire new resources.

Abstract:

Quality was a management tool especially for non- profit organizations like libraries. Total Quality relates to the quality management system of this total library process across the organizational functions and processes. It is not simply the end-quality of the services. Among the service industries such as Airlines, Banking institutions, Insurance companies and Health care providers, Libraries are the last to adopt TQM practices. For a long time, Librarians saw themselves as keepers of knowledge rather than active agents in information transfer. Though the main aim/objective of libraries is to satisfy the users, the library professionals often forget that. This article explain about various implementation of Total Quality Management in the academic libraries.

A Review of: Popoola, B., Uzoagba, N., & Rabiu, N. (2020). “What’s happening over there?”: A study of the current state of services, challenges, and prospects in Nigerian medical libraries. Journal of the Medical Library Association, 108(3), 398–407. https://doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2020.607 Abstract Objective – This study examined the field of medical librarianship as it is currently practiced in Nigeria. Design – Mixed methods: electronic survey and in-person interview. Setting – The survey was advertised via an email list and a WhatsApp discussion group, both based in Nigeria. The interviews were requested directly by the authors. Subjects – Librarians working in medical libraries in Nigeria for the survey; library heads for the interviews. Methods – The survey was created in Google Forms and shared via the Nigerian Library Association’s email discussion list and the WhatsApp Group for the Medial Library Association of Nigeria. Question categories included personal and library demographics, library patronage/social media use, library services for users, and librarians’ training and challenges. Most questions were closed-ended. Survey data was analyzed in SPSS for response frequencies and percentages. The interviews were conducted in person. Questions covered topics such as demographics, challenges, and prospects (for medical librarianship in Nigeria). Interview transcriptions underwent thematic content analysis. Main Results – The majority of the 58 survey respondents (73%) reported seven or more years of medical library experience. There was no consensus on classifications schemes used throughout medical libraries in Nigeria, with 43% using the US National Library of Medicine classification and 32% using the Library of Congress. Social media use also varied, but the majority (approximately 45%) reported using social media less than monthly to promote their libraries or programming. Monographs were the main collection material reported by roughly 35% of respondents. Journals followed at approximately 24% while only 10% reported electronic resources as the main collection material. The majority of respondents (53%) noted that their library did not offer specialized services. Others (31%) reported “selective dissemination of information, current awareness services, or reference services” (p. 402) as specialized services; 7% reported literature searching. The majority of respondents (70-75%) rated their skill levels in evidence based medicine and systematic reviews as beginner/intermediate. Half of respondents reported that their libraries had not held any training programs or seminars for library users in the six months prior. Interviews with library heads revealed that they all had high hopes for the future of medical libraries in Nigeria but also noted many challenges. These included a lack of cooperation between libraries, a lack of interlibrary loan services, budget deficiencies, and insufficient access to the internet. This mirrored survey responses, 50% of which noted access to electronic information was a “significant barrier to improved services” (p. 402) along with a lack of training (53%) and low library usage (57%). Conclusion – Medical libraries in Nigeria face multiple challenges. Budgetary constraints, a lack of library cooperation, and internet accessibility limit the availability of electronic collections. The authors suggest that library associations in Nigeria focus on education and training opportunities for current and future medical librarians.

Abstract:

In the year 2000 the form of medical information was radically changed from paper base to electronic one. With the increase of electronic medical information and the easy access that entails from it, medical libraries and users now prefer to the electronic information. Librarians converted acquisition policy into the form of consortium which sells medical information on a package form of electronic information. Because of the change of subscription methods, libraries now have to pay ever increasing consortium fee as well as the allotted budget for subscription to the publishers. As a result of this practice, medical libraries are beginning to experience confusion of executing budget. In order to solve the unwelcomed confusion and to support to establish a more efficient and stable acquisition policy, this paper analyzes the current policy in terms of its benefits as well as the disadvantages of the changed acquisition policy.

Abstract:

The purpose of this survey report is to provide help to find ways to revitalize educational services by investigating the current situation of user education in Korean medical libraries. By checking the survey result of job satisfaction and job stress according to educational services, we recognize the importance of medical library’s educational services and examine ways to improve educational conditions. For this purpose, the definition of library user education was examined through the theoretical background of various previous researches, and the concepts of job satisfaction and job stress were confirmed. In addition, we conducted Google online surveys in September 2018 for 156 Institutional members of the Korean Medical Library Association. A total of 95 questionnaires were collected for 2 weeks (response rate: 24.7%). More than 87% of the respondents answered that the educational services should be done in the medical library. Most respondents perceived that the educational services of the medical library was essential work for the research support of the users and it was positively evaluated about educational services centered on users. The most important item for user education continuity was confirmed by users' attention. Although the librarians and staffs showed high satisfaction with their education work, the stress on lack of time and work overload were also high. Based on the results, it is necessary to produce professional education contents to develop as good quality service, and supporting material resources and expanding manpower human resources is required. Finally, we suggested developing a specific education program for advanced users and all systematic education curriculums for medical librarians and staffs by understanding the new role of medical libraries.
