Librarianship is a constantly evolving profession. As the landscape in which our patrons find and use information changes, we have to adapt and expand the range of services we provide to ensure that we remain relevant and valuable to our patrons. One recent change in this landscape has been the growing demand for bibliometric and research assessment analytics at a variety of research institutions. These analytics seek to understand who produces research at those institutions, who they collaborate with, what their research is about, and what impact their research has had. In response, many librarians at these institutions have begun offering research assessment services to their patrons.

This full-day workshop aims to explore the roles that librarians can play in analyzing research at their organizations and to facilitate communication among librarians who are, or are interested in, providing research assessment services to their patrons. Through a series of keynotes, panel presentations, and open discussions, the workshop will assess the need for research assessment services, highlight librarians and information professionals already providing these services, and identify opportunities for expanding these services at other institutions.

Lunch will be on your own.

The full agenda and confirmed speakers will be announced later this month. Remote attendance via webinar will be available. Registration will close for the webinar two days prior to the meeting. For more information, contact Chris Belter (christopher.belter@nih.gov).

NOTE: Attendees will not be able to use their FEDLINK training funds for this workshop. No refunds after May 18th.
