“…In other cases, collaboration with non-library units helped shape new services. Among our included reports are services offered for or in conjunction with institutional review boards / ethics review boards (32,40,77), a faculty's office of research (57), an institution's information technology and administrative units (72), research committees (40,(78)(79)(80), and an animal care and use committee (81). Such collaborations can create synergies between libraries and other units to assist researchers more comprehensively than either unit can on its own.…”

“…Thirty-five (47%) studies reported additional research support services that did not fall into the largest categories outlined above (Table 2). These lessrepresented services ranged from sitting on ethics review boards (40,77), research committees (40,(78)(79)(80) or Animal Care and Use committees (81), to serving as full members of research teams (29,31,(35)(36)(37)(38)59), offering copyright-related services (82) or consent form and research protocol assistance (83). Reported services also included the creation of tools, portals, or taxonomies (35,37,67,78,84,85), providing non-systematic review search support (2,69,78,81,86,87), creating new library spaces for researchers (88), providing training in various topics of relevance along the research lifecycle (31, 64, 67-69, 78, 82, 83, 85, 87, 89-91), or leading communitybuilding activities such as forming groups or hubs to connect researchers with potential collaborators (26,69,74,(91)(92)(93).…”

Background:As part of a health sciences library’s internal assessment of its research support services, an environmental scan and literature review were conducted to identify research services offered elsewhere in Canada. Through this process, it became clear that a more formal review of the academic literature would help libraries make informed decisions about their services. To address this gap, we conducted a scoping review of research services provided in health sciences libraries contexts.Methods:Searches were conducted in Medline, Embase, ERIC, CINAHL, LISTA, LISS, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Google for articles which described the development, implementation, or evaluation of one or more research support initiatives in a health sciences library context. We identified additional articles by searching reference lists of included studies and soliciting medical library listservs.Results:Our database searches retrieved 7134 records, 4026 after duplicates were removed. Title/abstract screening excluded 3751, with 333 records retained for full-text screening. Seventy-five records were included, reporting on 74 different initiatives. Included studies were published between 1990 and 2017, the majority from North American and academic library contexts. Major service areas reported were the creation of new research support positions, and support services for systematic review support, grants, data management, open access and repositories.Conclusion:This scoping review is the first review to our knowledge to map research support services in the health sciences library context. It identified main areas of research service support provided by health sciences libraries that can be used for benchmarking or information gathering purposes.

“…2018Most recent revision of U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Title 45 Part 46These foundational documents provide context for the role of the IRB and add meaning to librarian contributions as a member of the IRB.Participating as a member of the IRB as a librarian is not a novel concept. Librarians generally engage with the IRB in one of three ways: as a researcher submitting protocols for review; as a consultant, liaison, or non-voting member supporting researchers or reviewers in literature reviews; or as a voting member of the IRB(Cantwell and Van Kampen-Breit 2015; Shields and Sarino 2022;Frumento and Keating 2007). Most of the literature, in fact, focuses on health, medical, and hospital librarians, highlighting their work providing protocol development training and literature review consultations(Frumento and Keating 2007; "Medical Librarians" 2011;Raimondo, Harris, Nance, and Brown 2014;Renison 2017;Robinson and Gehle 2005).Increased involvement of health, medical, and hospital librarians on biomedical IRBs, in particular, is often attributed to a highly publicized incident at Johns Hopkins in the early 2000's related to failure to identify relevant literature that resulted in a potentially avoidable death of a research subject/participant; since then, librarian participation has evolved into more full board roles(Greenberg and Narang 2015;Harvey 2003; "Medical Librarians" 2011).…”

Librarians and Research Integrity Committees: Finding professional joy and fulfillment in practice and service

This article describes how librarians can benefit from being members of research integrity committees. As two academic librarians, the authors share the ways that they have found professional fulfillment and joy through service on the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) for vertebrate animal research activities and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for human subjects research. Their participation on research integrity committees has provided opportunities to build new relationships, demonstrate their expertise, and find meaning in their contributions to research production. Participation on the IACUC has allowed one author to better understand research designs and instrumentation and laboratory techniques. She has built new relationships with research administrators, scientists, and lab managers, and found new opportunities to use her unique search skills. The other author, while serving on the IRB, has extended her professional network and highlighted her expertise as a qualitative researcher. She has built stronger relationships with research administrators and scholars and found new opportunities for advancing responsible data management conversations across campus. Participating in these committees has been professionally empowering and has allowed the authors to contribute to research integrity in important ways.
