“…In other cases, collaboration with non-library units helped shape new services. Among our included reports are services offered for or in conjunction with institutional review boards / ethics review boards (32,40,77), a faculty's office of research (57), an institution's information technology and administrative units (72), research committees (40,(78)(79)(80), and an animal care and use committee (81). Such collaborations can create synergies between libraries and other units to assist researchers more comprehensively than either unit can on its own.…”

“…The University of Minnesota Health Sciences Libraries created a workshop to help applicants to the NIH and the National Science Foundation create data management plans (56). The University of Michigan Health Sciences Library, in collaboration with the Medical School Office of Research, created a workshop and YouTube video on inserting graphics into grant applications (57). Other institutions also created general grant-writing workshops (58).…”

“…Many of these evaluations were largely informal (n=17), with the authors reporting anecdotal feedback they had received after implementing new services (32,37,41,42,44,66,71,72,81,84,89,94) or in which they supplemented another form of evaluation along with informal feedback (32,48,55,78,83). Statistics gathering (n=13) was the second most common form of evaluation, ranging from general usage and activity statistics (40,43,48,50,55,57,75,79,88,95) to more specific forms of data gathering, such as tracking the number of related requests after a seminar (86), tracking the use of the services provided by a bioinformatics librarian (69), and tracking the YouTube views of instructional videos (57).…”

Background:As part of a health sciences library’s internal assessment of its research support services, an environmental scan and literature review were conducted to identify research services offered elsewhere in Canada. Through this process, it became clear that a more formal review of the academic literature would help libraries make informed decisions about their services. To address this gap, we conducted a scoping review of research services provided in health sciences libraries contexts.Methods:Searches were conducted in Medline, Embase, ERIC, CINAHL, LISTA, LISS, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Google for articles which described the development, implementation, or evaluation of one or more research support initiatives in a health sciences library context. We identified additional articles by searching reference lists of included studies and soliciting medical library listservs.Results:Our database searches retrieved 7134 records, 4026 after duplicates were removed. Title/abstract screening excluded 3751, with 333 records retained for full-text screening. Seventy-five records were included, reporting on 74 different initiatives. Included studies were published between 1990 and 2017, the majority from North American and academic library contexts. Major service areas reported were the creation of new research support positions, and support services for systematic review support, grants, data management, open access and repositories.Conclusion:This scoping review is the first review to our knowledge to map research support services in the health sciences library context. It identified main areas of research service support provided by health sciences libraries that can be used for benchmarking or information gathering purposes.

“…At the University of Michigan, rather than looking to the historical providers of research services, librarians at the Taubman Health Science Library worked collaboratively with their colleagues in the Medical School's Office of Research to create new information management techniques to support grant preparation and submissions. 12 Recognizing that developing new sustainable service models around digital scholarship is not without its challenges, Vinopal and McCormick recently described an approach and lessons they learned from work conducted at New York University Libraries. They stressed the importance of developing a library culture that is adaptable and welcomes change.…”

To better understand the value of current information services and to forecast the evolving information and data management needs of researchers, a study was conducted at two research-intensive universities. The methodology and planning framework applied by health science librarians at Emory University and The Ohio State University focused on identifying the need for new or retooled information services supporting health and biomedical researchers and their increasing use of digital resources. The lessons learned and outcomes described herein are informing the development and implementation of new information service models and can help forecast changing user needs across the broader library community.he unprecedented increase of information resources, methodologies, and products of modern academic research has prompted the library community to explore and create a growing array of offerings to support optimal information management. Parallel to these developments, academic units such as information technology, academic computing, and a wide variety of informatics and research departments have been delivering related and at times overlapping services. This complex and fragmented service environment can be challenging, making it difficult for researchers to realize all the benefits of what is being offered. It can also create a formidable barrier between service receivers and providers. These developments have been prompting academic research libraries to reassess their information and data management services and solutions. While librarians have a general awareness of researcher needs, the work of the profession has focused on the more traditional

“…These units range from a few people processing grant forms to large and distributed organizations complete with educational programs. In recent years, there have been several case studies of partnerships between the office of research and institutional libraries, both within the United States and abroad . By pooling resources, both the libraries and the offices of research get better results.…”

EDITOR'S SUMMARY Academic and research librarians can enhance the services they provide to researchers by collaborating with university offices of research. The requirement that projects have data management plans to qualify for federal funding has stimulated alignment, partnering and pooling of resources between service providers. The author's experiences in data librarian positions illustrate various routes and results of interaction, from demonstrating the value of reusing data for different purposes to promoting data ethics and best practices in data management. Librarians should seek out opportunities to collaborate with their campus research offices, understand commonalities in service to researchers and focus on data management as a complement to research professionals' work.
