The Evolving Role of the Library in Institutional and Faculty Assessment – A Discussion of Research Metrics

Librarians have been redefining their role for the past 25 years. In today’s electronic world, librarians position themselves beyond traditional search experts: they focus their activities, expertise, and understanding of complex metrics can now serve a new audience: research administration and research program strategy. In this session, we will review these analytical use cases through the InCites™ platform and hear from Kate Anderson from the University of Missouri, Zalk Veterinary Medical Library, and Karen E. Gutzman, from Northwestern University’s Galter Health Sciences Library, and their role in the use of research performance metrics.

  • Diane Johnson judged papers for the research awards committee.

Staffing Changes at the Health Sciences Library

Posted on by

HSL wished a long and happy retirement to Shelley Worden on June 15. Shelley will retire on June 30. After that time, her duties will be distributed to other HSL staff, primarily Diane Johnson, Amanda Sprochi, Renita Richmond, and Ralph Sieli. We will monitor to see if anyone will need to shift some duties to accommodate, but for now, we will give it a try, and take things as they come. If you are unsure of whom to contact about a technical services issue in HSL, please contact Rich Rexroat.
