“…Health science librarianship has a longer relationship with EBP than any other LIS sub-field due to its proximity to its conception [3]. It recognizes that a good body of research is required to have good EBP [1]. From the analysis conducted in this study, the body of health librarian research is depicted as an increasingly collaborative landscape that is concerned with professional development, measuring the value output of librarian services and library resources, improving the quality of LIS research, and outreach to other library and healthcare institutions.…”

“…Librarians recognized this and many endeavors were undertaken to help support better EBP. One way to improve EBP is to promote library and information science (LIS) research; the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) focused on providing research relevant to practice, and the journal Evidence Based Library and Information Practice was created for the same reasons [1].…”

IntroductionEvidence-based practice is an important aspect of health science librarianship. However, good evidence-based practice can only occur if the body of evidence is also of adequate quality. By using bibliometric techniques to map the health science librarianship research field, one can better understand the properties of the evidence base in health science librarianship. MethodsThe Library Literature & Information Science Full Text database was used to generate a bibliography of publications pertaining to health librarianship limited to the time span of 2012–2022. Using Excel and Microsoft Power BI, a descriptive analysis was conducted. VosViewer was used to create a subject term co-occurrence map. ResultsThe average number of publications per year is 207.3 and it was trending downwards for 2012–2022. The most frequently assigned subject term was “survey”. The average number of authors per paper is 2.5 and was trending upwards. The subject term co-occurrence map identified 5 clusters of keywords, which were interpreted as major themes found in the body of literature.DiscussionThe 5 keyword clusters were interpreted as major themes found in the body of literature. The identified themes were professional development, measuring the value output of librarian services, measuring the return on investment of library resources, improving the quality of LIS research, and outreach to other library and healthcare institutions. This depicts the health science librarianship research landscape as one of collaboration, concerned with finding ways of demonstrating value, and connecting with other types of libraries and the public.

“…The next step in designing the research question for this paper was to examine checklists or inventories that reviewed research in library and information science. Eldredge [6] provides an inventory of research methods most frequently used in library and information studies, but does not provide guidance for assessing the quality of these methods. A well-known checklist based on Evidence-Based Librarianship (EBL) that does assess quality is provided by Glynn [7].…”
