Editor's Notes
- Discuss the scholarly impact outreach program I developed and lead at GSU library.
- I launched the program in 2013. Prior to this I presented workshops to my liaison depts and the Center for Instructional Innovation, a faculty organization on campus. The program was initially promotion and tenure outreach, and after researching the topic further, i expanded the scope to capture the multi functionality of metric-based tools.
- *Accountability/demonstrating value-academic programs are under pressure to obtain grants and have a high researcher output. Need for data to show evidence. *p&t has new challenges based on grants, competition so faculty need to present a strong case beyond citation counts and number of pubs. *identifying highly cited researchers and journals for access to significant researchers and journals in the discipline, potential pubs *metrics in databases, research networks, and stand alone products. These tools + librarian expertise=treasure trove for faculty
- Workshops Discuss and demo tools by categories: author-level, journal-level, article-level, journal, altmetrics. Experimented with frequency, general vs. by subject cluster Eventbrite to set up dates, track names to id dept. to customize content Subject librarians-promote and offer consultations. Track in Libstats for frequency and needs. Libguide-tools, resources such as p&t manuals, faculty research portal: data mgt, grant sources, benchmarking with gsu data via Incites
- Social media Blog Digital signage
- More expansion! Partnering with campus fac offices to promote service, campus/college/school mtgs on p&t, etc. Videos on libguide Workshops in depts. going to them Conclusion Given current research trends, si programming is an essential library service for faculty. Offering programming customized for faculty leads to stronger partnerships with librarians and is an exciting new role for librarians to pursue.
