Service oriented libraries: changing the conversation by design - Kate Kelly ...CONUL Conference
This document summarizes Kate Kelly's presentation on how health libraries are changing their focus from collections to services. It notes that decades of literature showed health libraries transitioning from a focus on buildings and collections in earlier decades, to addressing digital transitions and identity in more recent decades. Examples are given of libraries that no longer have print collections but focus on spaces for collaboration and technology instead. The presentation discusses how RCSI library has restructured to focus on strategic services like education, research support, and clinical information rather than print collections. It emphasizes that health libraries' shifting focus to expertise and services is relevant for other sectors undergoing similar changes.
1) The number of reference questions in academic health sciences libraries has declined in recent years across all user groups as more people turn to search engines like Google for answers.
2) While 99% of libraries offered asynchronous virtual reference services like email and web forms by 2007, only 43% offered synchronous services like chat at that time. However, the number of libraries offering chat/instant messaging reference services increased between 2002-2004.
3) As technology and user needs change, reference services will continue to evolve, but the majority of questions are still asked in person currently. Libraries must carefully consider their specific user populations to determine what virtual services would be most beneficial.
This document discusses the roles of NHS librarians in teaching hospitals and how to market library services. It outlines that librarians serve as gatekeepers, information providers, disseminators, teachers, and change agents. It also mentions that a successful marketing plan has 3 essential components and provides references on developing new clinical librarian roles and promoting hospital libraries.
Evidence based library and information practiceMichelle Dalton
This document discusses evidence-based library and information practice (EBLIP). It defines EBLIP as making data-driven decisions by integrating the best available research evidence with professional expertise and user needs. The key aspects of EBLIP discussed are formulating answerable questions, searching for relevant evidence from various sources, critically appraising the evidence, making and implementing decisions, and evaluating outcomes. Examples of evidence sources and research methods used in EBLIP are provided. The overall goal of EBLIP is to improve library services and demonstrate impact through more informed decision making.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Ideas for change
emerging from medical libraries
Barker et al. (2012)- Use of QR codes to help
patrons find items
McAphee et al. (2010) – Language accessibility
for diverse populations - translation assisted by
voice mail
Haines et al. (2010)- Importing subject guides
into course management software and
departmental web pages
2.
More ideas for change
emerging from medical libraries
Hendrix et al. (2009) - reference queries solicited
and handled via Facebook.
Shurtz & von Isenburg (2011)- Experimented with
Amazon Kindle in medical education. Librarians
taught elective course covering health care tech.
McGowan (2012) and Freiburger & Kramer
(2009) - “Embedded” librarians in academic
departments
3. One more idea for change
Schulte (2011) tells how Ohio State University's
Health Sciences library “eliminated” their
reference service...
… but really, it was only transformed!
The reference desk has been replaced by a
centralized library service desk, and reference
service is offered by appointment.
This has resulted in more in-depth reference
consultations; utilizing librarians' strengths.
4. “Evolution, revolution or
obsolescence?”
(McGowan 2012)
Are medical libraries “looking at a death spiral”
(Lynn et al., 2011) or are we headed into the
“great age of librarians”(Plutchak, 2012)?
It depends on who you ask!
5. Not librarians, but “informationists”
McGowan (2012) – idea of the “informationist”
was proposed in 2000; as of 2008, adoption of
this role and title have been slow.
Grefsheim et al. (2010) – study shows that
clinicians have a positive impression of
informationists and their work
Cooper (2011) is not sure whether the
“informationist” is a new idea – aren't these
what we used to call “medical librarians?”
6. Education for the future
McGowan (2012) – additional advanced
degrees, especially those in the sciences,
are advantageous. Programs in
healthcare informatics are also helpful.
Tu (2007) – survey found that the majority
of librarians who provide virtual reference
services in health sciences libraries do not
feel that their LIS education prepared
them well for this service. Suggests
changes in education and emphasis on
work experience.
7. Proposed changes in
the role of the librarian
Hill (2007) – Libraries need to support the
mission of the hospital. Evidence-based
librarianship leads to accountability. Includes
list of “what we need to do,” including
partnering with academic faculty and
institutions to do research.
Tannery & Maggio (2012) – Librarians should
partner with academics, and need to promote
their role.
8. Possible role changes for the
library
Gushrowski (2011) – library case study.
Dental library has begun a digital
document delivery service for both
students & practicing dentists, delivering
scans of articles from print journals.
Haines et al. (2010) – science researchers
suggest library should be a source of
university-wide information, and
institutional repositories should include
articles published by faculty and an
archive of freely-usable images for faculty.
9. Outside forces causing changes
Chen (2011) – Many medical schools are
shifting from a focus on rote memorization
to problem-based learning (PBL) and
scenario-based learning (SBL). These
approaches require different resources,
and students use the library differently.
Kies and Schultz (2010) – There are
changes planned for the medical licensing
exam in the next few years, which will lead
to changing demands on library
resources.
10. Outside forces, continued...
Bradley et al. (2010) – describes
emphasis on evidence-based medicine,
which is supported by librarians' finding
the best-supported research available.
Lynn et al. (2011) and McGowan (2012)
among others talk about the need to
downsize libraries because of lack of
space, or library space being reallocated.
11. In summary
Medical libraries may or may not be in
danger, but changes are inevitable.
“It is not necessary to change. Survival is
not mandatory” - Patricia Thibodeau (in
Lynn, 2011).
“Librarians are more than their collections.
Librarians make libraries valuable” Patricia Thibodeau (in Lynn, 2011)
12. In summary
“Digital libraries derive much of their
value from the selection, organization,
analysis, and linking performed by
highly skilled human beings aided by
increasingly advanced software systems
- in other words, digital libraries still
need librarians” - Lindberg and
Humphries, 2012.
13. In closing...
“You, all of you, are the librarians of the
future. Am I right? Is this the dawn of the
great age of librarians? That's up to you”
(Plutchak, 2012).
