“…Similarly, they must “remain agile” and adapt to changing physical library spaces that can be used for a diverse range of purposes including collaboration, instruction, laboratory work, and research [ 48 ]. HIPs may be asked to contribute to facility planning and policy as well as to assess technological needs, signage, and architectural design [ 48 ]. For some, vendor negotiation “has become a basic skill of library acquisitions,” as libraries have in many ways become businesses with “expanding costs and shrinking budgets” [ 49 ].…”

ObjectiveThis scoping review identified the emerging and evolving roles of health information professionals (HIPs) in a range of tasks and settings, as they adapt to varied user needs, while keeping up with changing medical landscapes to provide evidence-based information support in grand rounds and scholarly research. The review aims to inform library school students about expected entry-level job qualifications and faculty about adaptable changes to specialized HIP curricula.MethodsThe authors examined 268 peer-reviewed journal articles that concentrated on evolving HIP roles, professional settings, and contexts by retrieving results from several multidisciplinary databases.ResultsHIPs, who generally serve as “embedded librarians,” are taking on more active roles as collaborators, research experts, and liaisons, replacing more passive and exclusive roles as information providers and outreach agents or research assistants. These evolving roles in the reviewed literature were broken into nine categories in approximate order of prominence.ConclusionsA new model linking these evolving roles to the Medical Library Association (MLA) fundamental professional competencies was developed to provide an operational examination and research-based evidence for adapting HIP continuing education curriculum learning outcomes, course content and delivery, and student career pathways for existing graduate HIP specialization courses in library programs. The model indicates each role’s connection to the MLA professional competencies, based on MLA’s detailed description of each competency. A better understanding of HIP demands and expectations will enhance the capacity of library programs to prepare students in HIP specializations.

“…The process includes the creation of an inviting and visually appealing space, as well as providing an educational purpose that supports the library's mission. Similarly, the University of Colorado invited the general community to explore non-traditional uses of library space by establishing an art gallery that showcases works by local and visiting artists [4].…”

Objective: To increase student, staff, and faculty engagement with the health sciences library.Methods: Faculty, staff, and students were encouraged to create pharmacy-themed artworks and submit them to the library for entry into an art show. A two-hour art show and gala were planned for library patrons to view art pieces submitted by faculty, staff, and students. Participation data was collected during the event and compared to previous programming held at the health sciences library. Results:The PharmArt program determined a metric of demonstrable success would show as an uptick in participation; both physical and digital, when compared against previous library events. Physical participation was measured through program attendance and art piece submission. Participating demographics were represented by all target populations of faculty, staff, and students with a total increase of 52 participants (347% increase) over the previous event. Engagement through social media showed a considerable increase in clicks (2224%), shares (1200%), and overall reach (24%) within the school community.Conclusions: Incorporating student, staff, and faculty art works into a library-hosted event increased participation in a library program compared to previous library programming. Attendance and Social Media engagement increased considerably. Faculty, librarians, and students were brought together to share a common creative interest and to promote a casual atmosphere in which cross-curricular ideas could be discussed among attendees.
