“…The 3D printer personifies the medical library's mission to advance and support the education of our faculty, students, and residents, to improve the quality of care for our local residents, and to provide an environment of learning and scholarship that helps advance the forefront of medical knowledge and technology [ 13 ]. Like other institutions, “the library has established itself as a technology hub, or central place, for collaboration to meet the challenging needs of the university's health sciences curricula” [ 2 ].…”

3D printing is an emerging trend in medical care [1]. Medical libraries can play a key role in advancing this new technology [2]. Using a National Library of Medicine (NLM) grant, the medical library was able to purchase a basic 3D printer to create models for patient care and medical education. Despite a slow rollout for the new technology, there was a strong need once word of mouth spread about the new 3D printer. The one-year grant cycle, as well as the following three years, provide supporting evidence that even a basic 3D printer can advance patient care for clinicians and improve medical education for students [3]. The popularity of the technology, clinical support and demand, as well as student interest can drive the program forward on its own and support the medical library’s mission to improve community care and create an environment of enhanced learning [1].

“…For example, The Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah now offers virtual reality technology, 3D printing, and various multimedia tools such as tablets. 7 One significant reason for the shift in collections at the Health Sciences Library is that some Stony Brook University (SBU) health sciences programs and courses, such as those in graduate nursing and social welfare, have shifted to hybrid (both online and face-to-face instruction) or completely online models. In its Standards for Distance Learning Library Services, the Association for College and Research Libraries (ACRL) recommends that libraries serving distance learners provide library resources equivalent to those available to on-campus users.…”

The Health Sciences Library (HSL) at Stony Brook University along with the School of Medicine were motivated to make improvements in seating and hours based on survey results from an LCME self-study. Preparation for the site visit from the Liaison Committee for Medical Education helped to garner resources and support for this initiative. To meet the evolving needs of the HSL patrons, librarians completed an overdue collection assessment project which allowed for 142 new seats, including newly designed spaces and furnishings. Ongoing assessment of the redesigned space will be conducted to evaluate success and areas for continued improvement.

“…Wood Library at Weill Cornell Medicine. HSLs today serve as a technology hub (Patterson et al, 2018 ) by identifying technology trends to improve service provision (Norton et al, 2018 ), and teaching users to optimise technology (Hurst, 2014 ). Lindberg and Humphreys looked at HSL services to users broadly, as well as to specific groups such as clinicians, consumers, medical students, and researchers.…”

Technology advances and collaborations with information technology and computer science groups have enabled library services to expand into new domains. Listening to user needs, eliminating administrative burden and saving users time remain strong foundations on which to build new library services enabled by technology. Examples of what is now possible is described, including service to user groups, successes, failures and challenges. Although technology advances have enabled library service enhancements to all user groups, special emphasis on new library services in support of the research enterprise is discussed. As Lindberg and Humphreys predicted in 2015, the research enterprise's need for responsible curation of research data has created new opportunities for library services and examples of those services are discussed. As technology continues to advance, new library services are expected to emerge. These may include regulatory and compliance services. By developing these services with user feedback to save users time and expedite their work, and in collaboration with technology experts, libraries can expect to offer sustainable and valued services for years to come.
