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: Journal of the Medical Library Association : JMLA)

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: Journal of the Medical Library Association : JMLA)

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: Journal of the Medical Library Association : JMLA)

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 ...

Lost in translation: the history of the Ebers Papyrus and Dr. Carl H. von Klein
J Med Libr Assoc. 2023 Oct 2;111(4):844-851. doi: 10.5195/jmla.2023.1755.ABSTRACTWhile the Ebers Papyrus is understood to be one of the oldest and most complete contemporaneous perspectives on Ancient Egyptian healing practices, nothing has yet been said about the biography of its first English-language translator, Dr. Carl H. von Klein. A German immigrant and surgeon in the American Midwest, von Klein spent twenty-some years meticulously translating and annotating the Papyrus, but ultimately his manuscript was destroyed. In this paper, we examine the societal- and personal-scale forces that thwarted his efforts to transfo...
