This article aims to point out emerging roles and responsibilities for academic librarians with the potential of better integrating the library in the research process. In order to find out how to enhance the online reputation and discoverability of individual faculty members as well as their affiliated institutions, the authors worked side-by-side with researchers in the United States and Europe to explore, create, revise, and disambiguate scholarly profiles in various software applications. In an attempt to understand and organize scholarly social media, including new, alternative metrics, the authors reviewed and classified the major academic profile platforms, highlighting the overlapping elements, benefits, and drawbacks inherent in each. The consensus is that it would be time-consuming to keep one's profile current and accurate on all of these platforms, given the plethora of underlying problems, also discussed in detail in the article. However, it came as a startling discovery that reluctance to engage with scholarly social Judit Ward et al. Liber Quarterly Volume 24 Issue 4 2015175 media may cause a misrepresentation of a researcher's academic achievements and may come with unforeseen consequences. The authors claim that current skills and competencies can secure an essential role for academic librarians in the research workflow by means of monitoring and navigating researcher profiles in scholarly social media in order to best represent the scholarship of their host institutions.

Opioid use disorder (OUD), a unique type of substance use disorder defined as the continuous use of both prescription and illicit opioids despite physical, emotional, or legal harms, has emerged as a public international health crisis over the past 20 years, most critically in the United States. This entry provides a brief overview of the epidemiology of this disorder before detailing the role of communication in interventions integrated into the public health response to this crisis. Such interventions include health communication campaigns in the realm of public education efforts, responsible opioid prescribing practices, and community and institutional mobilization efforts designed to increase knowledge, change attitudes, and influence behaviors surrounding opioid use.

The purpose of this study is to assess the uncertaintydriven problem-solving model posited by Wilson (1999) as applied to the information behaviors of alcohol and other drug (AOD) counselors in their daily work practices. With the Wilson model serving as a framework, a series of semi-structured interviews was developed and the data analyzed to uncover the uncertainties of each of the interrelated domains of the profession, as well as the subsequent information behaviors that serve to address those uncertainties. Results show a strong match between the Wilson model and the empirical data in most functions of the job. That is, most information behaviors in the various job functions tend to stem from some uncertainty.
