“…Cross-campus partnerships involving academic librarians are not new phenomena. Indeed, librarians have long collaborated with faculty to train students to do research through short tutorials (Lechner, 2005;Lindsay et al, 2006), one-shot training sessions (Brustman, 2007;Fenske and Roselle, 1998;Portmann and Roush, 2004), course and curricular integration of research skills training (Cmor et al, 2010;Cooney and Hiris, 2003;DaCosta and Jones, 2007;Daly, 2010;Engle, 2001;Karplus, 2006;Hall, 2008;Simons, 2008;Appelt and Pendell, 2010;Zoellner et al, 2008), and for-credit research skills courses (Brustman and Bernnard, 2007;Davidson, 2001;Goebel and Neff, 2007;Harvey, 2008;Hrycaj, 2006;Hufford, 2010;O'Malley, 2009).…”

Bruce (1990) highlight the importance of a program of required information skills coursework designed to develop research skills to meet their research needs, particularly to conduct a thorough literature review.…”

“…Proposal 3: librarian involvement in the pre-dissertation seminar. Given the success other institutions have had in requiring their graduate students to participate Partnering students with librarians in a for-credit research skills course (Brustman and Bernnard, 2007;Getty et al, 2000;Harvey and Goodell, 2008;Lowry, 1990), it is recommended that the Learning and Leadership program integrate a for-credit research practicum into the curriculum.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to ask how the academic library may better position itself to assist with the demonstrated need for improved research ability in doctoral students. The paper examines the literature on doctoral student retention, which demonstrates problems with research self‐efficacy in students, and connects this issue to the library literature demonstrating the impact of library instruction.Design/methodology/approachThe main approach is the review of the literatures in library science on the impact of instruction, and in the wider education literature on student retention and doctoral student attrition.FindingsIt was found that library instruction does demonstrably improve student research skills, and that doctoral students are generally underprepared to conduct dissertation level research. There is a case for partnering doctoral students with academic librarians to improve dissertation completion rates and lower attrition due to lack of research skill.Practical implicationsThe paper demonstrates an obvious need for focus of library instruction on graduate students, and doctoral students in particular. The paper poses a number of research agendas that can be taken up by practitioners in the field, including various models for implementing instruction for doctoral students.Social implicationsAttrition from doctoral programs has a burdensome impact on academic institutions, and has been demonstrated to have adverse social, psychological and financial impacts on the doctoral students themselves. The ability of library intervention to alleviate the problem has wide‐ranging implications.Originality/valueThe paper brings a wider literature base to bear on the practice of library instruction, and raises important questions relevant to librarians and graduate faculty about the value of the library to more advanced research students and the current focus of most library instruction programs at the undergraduate levels.

“…At the same time, the profession seeks wider mainstream acceptance by both the public and its healthcare peers [ 7 - 16 ]. In response, many chiropractic colleges now teach EBCP approaches to chiropractic care [ 17 - 20 ]. Used appropriately, EBCP gives chiropractic professionals of all stages of experience insight beyond their own clinical expertise to guide clinical decision making and helps patients make educated, informed choices [ 21 ].…”

Essential literature for the chiropractic profession: a survey of chiropractic research leaders

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundEvidence-based clinical practice (EBCP) is an accepted practice for informed clinical decision making in mainstream health care professions. EBCP augments clinical experience and can have far reaching effects in education, policy, reimbursement and clinical management. The proliferation of published research can be overwhelming—finding a mechanism to identify literature that is essential for practitioners and students is desirable. The purpose of this study was to survey leaders in the chiropractic profession on their opinions of essential literature for doctors of chiropractic, faculty, and students to read or reference.MethodsDeployment of an IRB exempted survey occurred with 68 academic and research leaders using SurveyMonkey®. Individuals were solicited via e-mail in August of 2011; the study closed in October of 2011.Collected data were checked for citation accuracy and compiled to determine multiple responses. A secondary analysis assessed the scholarly impact and Internet accessibility of the recommended literature.ResultsForty-three (43) individuals consented to participate; seventeen (17) contributed at least one article of importance. A total of 41 unique articles were reported. Of the six articles contributed more than once, one article was reported 6 times, and 5 were reported twice.ConclusionsA manageable list of relevant literature was created. Shortcomings of methods were identified, and improvements for continued implementation are suggested. A wide variety of articles were reported as “essential” knowledge; annual or bi-annual surveys would be helpful for the profession.
