Supporting Bioinformatics
The document discusses supporting bioinformatics at McGill University. It provides information about the McGill Centre for Bioinformatics, which is an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in bioinformatics. Related courses are offered through several departments. The McGill Library provides opportunities to support bioinformatics through its collections, guides, workshops and consultations. Challenges include time, expertise and faculty perceptions. Two surveys presented ask about bioinformatics tool usage and training, as well as interest in different workshop topics. The document concludes with additional resources on data management, visualization and curation.
With One Voice
This document summarizes key findings from the Project Information Literacy report "Truth Be Told: How College Students Evaluate and Use Information in the Digital Age". The report reflects a large-scale survey of over 8,000 students. It found that students consistently evaluate online information based on criteria like currency, author credentials, and website design. Students reported trusting information from the library more. Most students reported struggling with defining topics, narrowing searches, and knowing when they have enough information. Few students used collaborative tools like Google Docs for research. The document recommends integrating research process rubrics into assignments and focusing library instruction more on research skills than just resources. It discusses collaborations between libraries and classrooms to help students improve research abilities.
Research Summaries: An Evolving Tool in the KMb Tool Box
This document discusses research summaries as an evolving tool for knowledge mobilization. It describes summaries that are 2 pages, written in clear language, vetted by researchers, and open access. A 2008 SSHRC grant supported their development as part of the ResearchImpact network toolkit. The format is now used by 10 offices across 5 institutions. Focus groups validated the summaries as helpful for policymakers, community groups, and researchers. Examples are provided of 4 organizations that produce summaries, along with their successes with and challenges of using the format. Contact information is given for representatives from each organization.

Focus on the user environment: increase your library's usability (Suzanne Lewis)
The document discusses different approaches to library services - "lollipop librarianship", "broccoli librarianship", and evidence-based librarianship. "Lollipop librarianship" focuses solely on what patrons want without considering usefulness, while "broccoli librarianship" focuses on telling patrons what they need without considering ease of use. Evidence-based librarianship seeks to improve services by integrating user needs, practitioner experience, and research evidence. It discusses applying an evidence-based process to improve the usability of a library intranet site.

This document summarizes a case study on the challenges of transitioning to organic farming for small-scale rice and vegetable producers in West Bengal, India. Some key challenges identified include a lack of access to information and training on organic practices, as well as an inability to access or afford specialized organic inputs that are commonly used in developed countries. Additionally, the costs of organic certification are prohibitively high for most small-scale farmers. The study suggests that a locally-developed, step-by-step approach focusing on eliminating pesticides and improving soil health may offer a more viable path to organic farming for small farmers in developing regions like West Bengal.

Bridging Gaps and Broadening Participation in Today's and Future Research Com...
Research computing is in an exciting era and has never as fast evolved as in the last 20 years. We can nowadays answer research questions that we could not even ask two decades ago. This has led to discoveries such as the analyses of DNA from Next-Generation Sequencing technologies. The increased complexity of software, data, hardware and lab instruments demands for more openness and sharing of data and methods. Researchers and educators are not necessarily IT specialists though. Thus, a further trend in research computing is the shift from system-centric design to user-centric design and interdisciplinary teams – complex solutions are offered in self-explanatory user interfaces, so-called science gateways or virtual research environments. I will present solutions and projects supporting users to be able to focus on their research questions without the need to become acquainted with the nitty-gritty details of the complex research computing infrastructure. Key aspects of the presented projects are usability and interoperability of computational methods, reproducibility of research results as well as sustainability of research software. Sustainability of research software has many facets. I advocate for improving the diversity in workforce development, career paths for research software engineers and for incentivizing their work via means beyond the traditional academic rewarding system.

Being an Open Scholar in a Connected World
This document discusses the benefits of open scholarship in a connected world. It argues that open access to research articles makes information more accessible to broader audiences, including the general public and students. When data and research notes are openly shared online, it can enable unexpected reuse and collaboration. However, the current academic publishing and reward systems may not fully incentivize open scholarship. The document calls for exploring new models of peer review, metrics of impact, and ways of publishing research to make the scholarly process more transparent and collaborative.
Interconnections in the Open Ecosystem
This document discusses the open ecosystem of education and science. It defines key concepts like open educational resources (OER), open pedagogy, open science, and open access. It notes that using OER has led to cost savings for students and improved learning outcomes. Open pedagogy emphasizes student agency, collaboration, and knowledge creation rather than just consumption. The document advocates applying open principles throughout the education system and scientific process to make knowledge more accessible and collaborative.

An Online & Social Media Training Curriculum to Facilitate Bench-to-Bedside I...University of Michigan Taubman Health Sciences Library
OBJECTIVES: Translational research focuses on the bench-to-bedside information transfer process — getting the information from researchers into the hands of clinical decision makers. At the same time, researchers who manage international research collaborations could benefit from increased knowledge and awareness of online collaboration tools to support these projects. Our goal was to support both needs through building awareness and skills with online and social media.
METHODS: The Library developed a curricula targeted specifically to academic researchers focusing on collaboration technologies and online tools to support the research process. The curricula will provide instruction at three levels: gateway, bridge, and mastery tools. The goal of Level One is to persuade researchers of the utility of online social tools. To develop the program, input was solicited from researchers identified as leaders in this area as well as focus groups of students to discover which tools are already being used.
RESULTS: Training is being provided on those tools identified as most likely to engage researchers (Google Docs, Skype, online scheduling, Adobe Connect, citation sharing tools). The curricula is being delivered as workshops duplicated as podcasts and in other online media.
CONCLUSIONS: Online and social media are practical tools for supporting distance collaborations relatively inexpensively while offering the added benefit of placing selected information in online spaces that facilitate discovery and discussion with clinical care providers, thus supporting the fundamental research processes at the same time as promoting bench-to-bedside information transfer.Intersections big and small: a review of three projects that merge scholarly ...

The Future of Research (Science and Technology)
This document summarizes the key trends in modern scientific research, including the rise of data-intensive science, collaborative and distributed research, and open science. It discusses how research is becoming more data-driven and dependent on large datasets. It also notes the growth of virtual and distributed collaboration between researchers. Finally, it outlines some of the implications for libraries and services to support reproducible, open, and data-driven scientific research.
21st Century Research Landscape
The needs of researchers in key disciplines are changing rapidly and this has important implications for the library’s role in enhancing research productivity and impact.
Librarians can build a roadmap for supporting 21st Century research needs that draws on both published research sources and institution-specific user research. Several key trends from recent studies and ideas for institution-specific user research tools are highlighted within.
Building a User-Centric Web-Based Library Service
This short presentation highlights some recent and emerging technology that can be used to augment a library's web-based service and provide a higher level of user interaction as well as resource discovery and access.
Researchers Roadmaps Roles Reality Checks
The document discusses the work of the Research Information Management (RIM) program. It provides an overview of the program's goals, projects, and working groups.

This presentation was provided by Rachel Vacek of the University of Michigan during the NISO webinar, Library as Publisher, Part Two, held on March 14, 2018.Challenges and Opportunities in Customizing Library Repository User Interfaces
This presentation will dive into the ongoing challenges that academic libraries often face when improving the user experiences of out-of-the-box and open source repositories. Fueling the challenges are the ambiguity and fast-changing nature within the field of digital scholarship and the constant flux of technology platforms and tools. Fortunately, many libraries are paying more attention to users’ motivations and responding by designing user interfaces that support particular formats and contexts. We’ll explore emerging opportunities with repositories in looking at how far libraries should go in providing customizations to balance stakeholder and user needs, and how to plan for users’ ever-shifting expectations.

Do the Outcomes Justify the Buzz?: An Assessment of LibGuides at Cornell Univ...
Springshare's LibGuides has inspired significant buzz in the library blogosphere. Touted for its "Web 2.0" functions, attractive interface, and ease of use for librarians, Libguides has transformed the way many libraries build web-based research guides. Cornell and Princeton Universities decided to collaborate on an assessment initiative to discover how these guides are valued on each campus. This study goes beyond the "2.0" dogma to empirically determine if LibGuides lives up to its publicity.
