J Med Libr Assoc. 2023 Oct 2;111(4):747-749. doi: 10.5195/jmla.2023.1826.ABSTRACTWith the arrival of ChatGPT, the academic community has expressed concerns about how generative artificial intelligence will be used by students and researchers alike. After consulting policies from other journals and discussing among the editorial team, we have created a policy on the use of AI on submissions to JMLA. This editorial provides a brief background on these concerns and introduces our policy.PMID:37928115 | PMC:PMC10621693 | DOI:10.5195/jmla.2023.1826 (Source: J Med Libr Assoc AND...)

Providing health sciences education through virtual reality experiences
J Med Libr Assoc. 2023 Oct 2;111(4):833-834. doi: 10.5195/jmla.2023.1632.ABSTRACTIn 2020 - 2021 the Robert B. Greenblatt, M.D. Library at Augusta University implemented two projects leveraging virtual reality (VR) technology to provide immersive experiential learning opportunities for health sciences students. The projects shared some commonalities in spite of having differing objectives and desired outcomes. These common facets led to the success of both projects and will be helpful for other institutions considering implementing VR projects.PMID:37928116 | PMC:PMC10621681 | DOI:10.5195/jmla.2023.1632 (Source: J Med Libr Assoc AND...)

LGBTQ+ health research guides: a multi-institutional analysis of usage patterns and user information needs
CONCLUSION: This study shows that people are accessing LGBTQ+ consumer health information through academic library research guides, with a preference for local information. Guide usage appears to be positively driven by outreach within one's institution and to the greater community. Locating external partners may increase guide impact and provide important links to local resources and services.PMID:37928119 | PMC:PMC10621682 | DOI:10.5195/jmla.2023.1661 (Source: J Med Libr Assoc AND...)

Initial efforts to improve medical student information-seeking behavior with embedded library instruction
DISCUSSION: In the real-world application of back-to-back Georgetown University's Medical Center Grand Rounds exercises, librarian-led instruction on clinical-specific resources appears to be correlated with an improvement in medical students' searching behavior. This trend supports the argument that introducing students early to librarian-led education on clinical-specific resources, and providing feedback on their searches, improves students' information-seeking behavior.PMID:37928120 | PMC:PMC10621726 | DOI:10.5195/jmla.2023.1771 (Source: J Med Libr Assoc AND...)

How do search systems impact systematic searching? A qualitative study
CONCLUSION: Interviews with systematic searchers suggest priorities for improving search systems, and barriers to improvement that must be overcome. Vendors must understand the unique requirements of systematic searching and recognize systematic searchers as a distinct group of users. Better interfaces and improved functionality will result in more efficient evidence synthesis.PMID:37928121 | PMC:PMC10621724 | DOI:10.5195/jmla.2023.1647 (Source: J Med Libr Assoc AND...)

Mapping the pathways to health sciences librarianship: reflections and future implications from an immersion session
CONCLUSION: Small group discussions in a conference immersion session showed the value of community building in a profession that has multiple pathways for entrance, highlighting the importance of unearthing hidden knowledge about avenues for exploring and enhancing career pathways. The article seeks to address barriers to entry into the profession and adds to the literature on strengthening the field of health sciences librarianship.PMID:37928122 | PMC:PMC10621722 | DOI:10.5195/jmla.2023.1645 (Source: J Med Libr Assoc AND...)

Facilitating rural access to quality health information through Little Free Libraries
DISCUSSION: LFLs have become an important resource for lower-income rural families in Okeechobee. There are 7 LFLs in Okeechobee County, with a goal of eventually establishing 15 total to provide vital health resources and books. Over 2,456 items have been circulated among the 7 LFLs since May 2020. Overall, the project has been successful with positive feedback received from the community and with OCPL planning to continue to expand the project.PMID:37928124 | PMC:PMC10621719 | DOI:10.5195/jmla.2023.1585 (Source: J Med Libr Assoc AND...)

Recognizing the value of meta-research and making it easier to find
J Med Libr Assoc. 2023 Oct 2;111(4):839-843. doi: 10.5195/jmla.2023.1758.ABSTRACTMeta-research is a bourgeoning field studying topics with significant relevance to health sciences librarianship, such as research reproducibility, peer review, and open access. As a discipline that studies research itself and the practices of researchers, meta-research spans disciplines and encompasses a broad spectrum of topics and methods. The breadth of meta-research presents a significant challenge for identifying published meta-research studies. Introducing a subject heading for meta-research in the controlled vocabularies of literature ...
