“…Kompetensi riset diperlukan juga untuk meningkatkan produktivitas menulis ilmiah pustakawan dalam riset kolaboratif lembaga. Berg & Banks (2016) menjelaskan perlu ada minat yang kuat dan kompetensi pustakawan yang memadai untuk melaksanakan penelitian, sehingga memunculkan sinergitas dari kedua belah pihak, baik dari pustakawan maupun dari pemustaka (akademisi). Di UNS, publikasi ilmiah menjadi syarat wajib pustakawan dan akademisi untuk kenaikan pangkat dan jabatan, dan bagi mahasiswa pascasarjana sebagai syarat kelulusan akademik (wisuda).…”

One of the ways to increase librarian's scientific publications is through research collaboration. Research collaboration is an intellectual activity that emphasizes the need for collaboration, communication, and the division of tasks of the research team in a research project. Librarians can carry out research collaborations with academics to enhance their role as research collaborators for institutions. The UNS Library has provided research information and research consulting services called "Klinik Pustaka Ilmiah”. This research aims to identify the various efforts of the UNS Library in increasing librarian research publications, and building research collaborations of librarians with academics (lecturers and students). This study uses a qualitative approach, with data sources from interviews and documentation. The results showed that the UNS Library's "Klinik Pustaka Ilmiah" service really supports the collaborative research activities of academic librarians, and the library has made various efforts to increase research publications and librarian research collaborations. Researchers also suggest that the UNS Library be more active to encourage librarians in institutional research collaborations, and librarians also need to improve their research competence on an ongoing basis.

“…Certainly it is the case that the degree to which librarians engage in research is variable, and the research productivity of librarians is influenced by a number of factors Koufogiannakis 2014, 2017). There has been exploration into what could improve the research output of librarians, including a shift in the language from discussing research competencies to discussing research capacities (Berg and Banks 2016). Recent years have seen the rise of evidence-based library and information practice (EBLIP) within academic libraries (Kennedy and Brancolini 2012;Marshall 2014;Eldredge 2000).…”

This study examines the perceptions of academic librarian research at six Canadian prairie-province universities. An understanding of how librarian research is viewed and valued at academic institutions can lay the groundwork to improve the state of librarian research in the future. Surveys were sent to librarians and non-librarian faculty in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences at these universities to gather information about how both groups perceive academic librarian research. Thirty librarians and 30 non-librarian faculty responded to the survey. In general, research was viewed as an important and positive aspect of librarianship, though one that was of secondary importance to service. Non-librarian faculty largely lacked awareness about librarian research, and librarians reported being unsupported in their research needs by their institutions. Librarian research collaboration with non-librarian faculty was of high interest to both groups of respondents. The results of this survey highlight the importance of research to academic librarianship while indicating that there is room for further improvement by raising the profile of librarian research outside of the library, fostering collaborative research projects, and providing librarians with the support necessary to engage in research activities.

“…Several studies have examined See end of article for supplemental content. how librarians have made an impact as researchers and the effect that this has had on them as professionals [12][13][14][15]. An interesting example of the increasing capacity of librarians for research is librarian participation within interprofessional research teams in a myriad of capacities [16][17][18][19].…”

Objectives: Within many institutions, there are debates over whether medical librarians should be classified as faculty or professional staff, a distinction that may have considerable effect on the perception of librarians within their local institutions. This study is a pilot exploration of how faculty status may affect the professional experiences of academic medical librarians within their local institutions. Methods: Surveys were sent to 209 medical librarians listed as having some instructional function at Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accredited medical institutions in the United States. Survey responses were captured using Qualtrics survey tool and analyzed for frequencies and associations using SPSS version 27. Results: Sixty-four medical librarians at academic medical institutions completed the survey developed for this study. Of the respondents, 60.9% indicated that librarians at their institution have faculty status, while 71.9% believe that librarians at their institution should have faculty status. Ninety percent of librarians with faculty status reported that they are expected to generate scholarly materials, compared to 28% of those without faculty status. Conclusions: Many medical libraries offer faculty status to librarians. While many medical librarians are active in instruction, research, and other activities normally associated with faculty status, it is not clear if faculty status impacts how librarians are perceived by other health care workers within their institutions.
