Summary
Health science libraries are evolving, with librarians increasingly involved in systematic reviews, professional development, education, and health literacy support. These trends reflect significant changes in the field.
Area of Science:
- Health sciences librarianship
- Information science in healthcare
Background:
- This article is the second in a three-part series examining trends in health science libraries.
- It draws from "New Directions in Health Science Libraries," a series published between June 2017 and March 2020, featuring 12 countries.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore four key trends identified in health science libraries.
- To provide examples of these trends from international authors.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 12 articles from the "New Directions in Health Science Libraries" series.
- Identification and categorization of 11 overarching trends.
Main Results:
- Identified four significant trends: involvement in systematic reviews and data synthesis, professional development for librarians, education/training for users, and support for health literacy.
- Examples from authors illustrate these evolving roles.
Conclusions:
- Health science libraries are adapting to new demands, expanding their services beyond traditional roles.
- Librarians are crucial in supporting research, education, and health literacy initiatives.
