Social science researchers continue to choose scoping reviews as a means of synthesizing the literature in their field, though search reporting is inconsistent. Many projects could benefit from the application of tools such as PRISMA-S, use of supplementary search strategies, and support of an LIS professional. Open Access
'Searchsmart.org is a free website that guides researchers to particularly suitable search options for their particular disciplines, offering a wide array of resources, including search engines, aggregators, journal platforms, repositories, clinical trials databases, bibliographic databases, and digital libraries.

The application-based evaluation model integrates BDA in health sciences libraries for improving library services and performance. The study proposed a need for skilled professionals with the knowledge and experience both professionally and technically.
he review revealed that the policies could be grouped into several key categories: educational programs, laws and regulations, knowledge sharing, national programs, and different information sources. The development of these policies involved multifaceted processes influenced by political, scientific, economic, cultural and social factors, as well as the involvement of multiple stakeholders.
Case presentation: This case compares two biomedical databases, Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed, to see if either is reliable enough to confidently recommend to students for use when writing papers. A total of 60 citations were assessed, 30 citations from each citation generator, based on the top 30 articles in PubMed from 2010 to 2020.
Conclusions: Error rates were higher in Ovid MEDLINE than PubMed but neither database platform provided error-free references. The auto-cite tools were not reliable. Zero of the 60 citations examined were 100% correct. Librarians should continue to advise students not to rely solely upon citation generators in these biomedical databases.
Description of a game where nursing students work in groups to come up with a question that they can challenge the librarian to answer (and explain how to search at the same time).
"We are refreshing our reminiscence collection, looking to create resources from more recent decades, e.g. focusing more on 1970s-90s." This was a suggestion from the OT students we hosted.
'While this is a promising area of development, AI-based evidence synthesis tools should not be
considered a ‘panacea’ or ‘cure all’ for the pressures imposed by an ever-expanding evidence base.
Given potential trade-offs, and a lack of information on unintended consequences, it is important that tools aren’t applied uncritically to resolve workload pressures'
“Our conversations with CILIP and attending the CILIP conference, is about helping make as many librarians as possible aware of the YouTube health initiative, and the credible health information available on the platform. And also that YouTube is a place you should feel comfortable directing your library visitors to for health information.” News release from CILIP - worth being aware of for patient information?
Key findings highlight Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Semantic Scholar, and Lens as leading options for FWC searching, with Lens providing superior download capabilities. For BWC searching, the Web of Science Core Collection can be recommended over Scopus for accuracy. BWC information from publisher databases such as IEEE Xplore or ScienceDirect was generally found to be the most accurate, yet only available for a limited number of articles
Editorial. Digital platforms and artificial intelligence's (AI) influence on our daily lives often go unnoticed. From the algorithms that support our smartphones and driverless vehicles to the medical diagnostic systems used by health professionals, AI is increasingly taking over decision-making tasks traditionally performed by humans. While enhancing human efficiency, this shift also introduces a myriad of ethical and legal uncertainties that demand our attention.

While ChatGPT has gained popularity in various domains, it may not be the ideal focus for medical professionals due to its reliance on language pattern prediction rather than direct fact retrieval, potentially leading to inaccurate outputs. We emphasize the limitations of ChatGPT's training data, which mainly come from non-specialized sources and may result in misleading answers in highly specialized medical domains. We advocate for a shift towards specialized medical large language models (LLMs) that are trained using authoritative medical databases, supplemented by human validation, to ensure accuracy and completeness of data.

We introduce Get Free Copy (https://getfreecopy.com), a web-based platform designed to streamline the search for biomedical literature across major repositories like arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and PubMed Central (PMC). Addressing challenges posed by paywalls and fragmented databases, it offers a unified interface for efficient retrieval of free, legitimate copies of biomedical literature. The platform's implementation involves a Node.js backend and dynamic front-end display, enhancing accessibility and research efficiency. As an open-source project, Get Free Copy represents a significant contribution to the open-access movement, inviting global researcher collaboration for further development.
With the enormous growth in interest and use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems seen since the launch of ChatGPT in autumn 2022 have come questions both about the legal status of AI outputs, and of using protected works as training inputs. It is inevitable that UK higher education institution (HEI) library copyright advice services will see an increase in questions around use of works with AI as a result. Staff working in such library services are not lawyers or able to offer legal advice to their academic researchers. Nonetheless, they must look at the issues raised, consider how to advise in analogous situations of using copyright material, and offer opinion to researchers accordingly. While the legal questions remain to be answered definitively, copyright librarians can still offer advice on both open licences and use of copyright material under permitted exceptions. We look here at how library services can address questions on copyright and open licences for generative AI for researchers in UK HEIs.
When seeking medical information on social media, users tend to rely on subjective judgment rather than objective judgment, although both are influential. Furthermore, in the current era, in which marketing methods involving big data algorithms and artificial intelligence prevail, negative signals, such as information overload, have a more pronounced impact than positive signals.
New survey by the American Library Association. Despite their online presence, 98% of Purdue undergraduates use libraries for study, socializing, and resources like Wi-Fi. The survey highlights a shift in library design, emphasizing flexible, multi-purpose areas over traditional print collections. Modern libraries now offer amenities like natural light, diverse study environments, and tech-equipped spaces to meet student needs. The study underscores the importance of adapting library spaces to support both academic and social functions, ensuring they remain vital hubs for the next generation of students
As the authors of this paper state,
offering timely access to evidence-based practices is crucial to address the research-practice gap and provide evidence-based care to children and young people.
This review summarises the key barriers and facilitators to help achieve this. It also highlights some of the conflicting priorities that CYP mental health services currently face between these identified facilitators and barriers (e.g., high service demands and prioritising innovation).
Additionally, this review emphasises the need to learn and use implementation strategies within CYP mental health settings in order to test and trial these methods and understand the effects within local and individual contexts.
Health sciences library public services underwent profound changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Circulation, reference services, instruction, interlibrary loan, and programming were all significantly affected. Libraries adapted by moving to virtual services, featuring online workshops, video consultations, and digital information sharing. Reference services moved to virtual consultations for a streamlined experience, and instruction transitioned to interactive video tutorials. Interlibrary loan services saw a decrease in print material lending but an increase in electronic subscriptions. Library programming shifted from in-person to virtual, focusing on wellness activities. This post-pandemic transformation underscores the importance of ongoing adaptation to meet changing user needs.
This article describes how the library evidence team became part of a wider board project to develop a governance system for Apps. It also describes how the skills of librarians can be developed to work in this area and raise the profile of the team within the board.
To help address the well-being of the campus and contribute to empathy building amongst students pursuing careers as healthcare providers, an academic health sciences library built a graphic novel collection focused on comics that discuss medical conditions and health-related topics. The collection contains the experiences of patients, providers, and caregivers. The reader-friendly format of graphic novels provides an easy entry point for discussing empathy with health professions faculty and students. The collection has been used in the classroom during library instruction sessions, with the idea of integrating it within the curriculum.
Summary points

TARCiS comprises 10 specific recommendations on when and how to conduct citation searching and how to report it in the context of systematic literature searches, and also frames four research priorities
The statement will contribute to a unified terminology, systematic application, and transparent reporting of citation searching and support those who are conducting or assessing citation searching methods
Conclusion: Social media facilitates interpersonal communication, information exchange and knowledge sharing, and infographics may draw people into healthy lifestyle and fitness information items relevant to them.
A scoping review to determine how health service librarians instruct practicing clinicians and health sciences faculty in support of their continuing education.
as people aged, they searched for significantly less health wellness information (P<.001) and more health guidance (P<.001), and health management information (P=.003).
This cross-sectional study compared plain language summaries (PLSs) from medical and non-medical organizations regarding conclusiveness, readability and textual characteristics.
Our overall assessment is that MTI is a potentially useful tool for researchers wishing to classify texts from a variety of sources into disease areas.
ChatGPT provides different answers to similar questions based on the prompts, and patients may not have expertise in prompting ChattPT to elicit a best answer. (Prompting large language models has been shown to be a skill that can improve). Of greater concern, ChatGPT fails to provide sources or references for its answers. At present ChatGPT cannot be relied upon to address patient questions; in the future, ChatGPT will improve. Today, AI requires physician expertise to interpret AI answers for patients.
When screening full-text literature using highly reliable prompts, GPT-4's performance was more robust, reaching “human-like” levels. Although our findings indicate that, currently, substantial caution should be exercised if LLMs are being used to conduct systematic reviews, they also offer preliminary evidence that, for certain review tasks delivered under specific conditions, LLMs can rival human performance.

Today a perceived lasting legacy of the Covid-19 pandemic is that more information literacy instruction is happening online than pre-pandemic, including ongoing adoption of synchronous modes of instruction in course-based and co-curricular contexts, and sustained integration of asynchronous learning resources either in standalone formats or as fundamental elements in what is described as a growing adoption of a more modular, scalable approach to information literacy instruction. At the same time, the role of in-person information literacy instruction has by no means been forgotten, with all OCUL libraries offering a majority of instruction this way by Fall 2022, when pandemic restrictions eased up. However, an ongoing legacy of the Covid-19 pandemic has been lasting changes in how librarians teach, and the nature of collaborative partnerships at work in shaping this information literacy instruction, to increasingly draw from a broader range of modalities to offer students a more flexible learning environment.
Interview and survey findings highlighted several strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to support future development of online knowledge sharing platforms.
Discussion
Online knowledge sharing supports six ‘pillars’ of successful research and innovation partnerships. This requires distributed forms of leadership and linking of different knowledge sharing strategies, and careful combination of platforms with communities of practice.
Conclusion
Online knowledge sharing provides pragmatic and timely strategies for health professionals in the UK to apply research evidence to their practice. Our study provides generalisable, practical insights in how to develop and implement a knowledge sharing platform.
Notably, from their initial exposure, students associated e-books primarily with a source of new information, rather than as a time-saving tool. Although e-books were perceived as easy to use, this aspect did not strongly influence students' attitudes and intentions to use them as much as their perceived usefulness did. The study reveals that students, particularly in social sciences, have long viewed e-books as a vital technology for exploratory knowledge acquisition. While they perceive e-books as easy to use, this perception likely stems from their habitual use for managing learning activities, rather than from recognizing any added value of the technology itself.
Results: Thematic analysis revealed three themes: tablets are convenient to access online information and older adults reported technical, security concerns, emotional and cognitive challenges regarding use of smart tablets. Older adults also requested one-on-one support, assistance, and topic specific learning for future training sessions.
Conclusions: Future studies should focus on providing detailed, clear instructions at an acceptable pace for older adults.
Four main themes related to how youth search online emerged: mind-set shapes the search process; external factors shape the search process; key attributes of helpful information; and cues affecting trustworthiness of online information. Findings can inform the development of youth-friendly online mental health information that is perceived as helpful and trustworthy by youth. Ensuring youth have access to quality online mental health information, accessible to how they search for it, is critical to the mental health and development of youth.
Results
We included 79 studies and identified themes, including question realism, answer reliability, answer utility, clinical specialism, systems, usability, and evaluation methods. Clinicians’ questions used to train and evaluate QA systems were restricted to certain sources, types and complexity levels. No system communicated confidence levels in the answers or sources. Many studies suffered from high risks of bias and applicability concerns. Only 8 studies completely satisfied any criterion for clinical utility, and only 7 reported user evaluations. Most systems were built with limited input from clinicians.
Discussion
While machine learning methods have led to increased accuracy, most studies imperfectly reflected real-world healthcare information needs. Key research priorities include developing more realistic healthcare QA datasets and considering the reliability of answer sources, rather than merely focusing on accuracy.
The concept of new libraries has been conquering many Polish towns and cities for some time - the idea of a place that is more than a lending library. The new small cultural centers are meant to create new spaces, following the idea of a "third place." This idea can be complemented by the interior, as exemplified by the library in Kraśnik.
"If someone has the energy to act and the desire to share it with other locals then a modern library will provide the space to do so. Why will it do so? Because it has such a space and it is adaptable, easy and quick to transform. I call it a 15-minute space, referring to a 15-minute city. This is the kind of space that characterizes a contemporary library, especially one inspired by the idea of the third place, and processes and activities can be initiated by both librarians and library users."
A small town library has won a prestigious international design award after undergoing a major transformation.
Originally inspired while drinking coffee in a Wrocław café by the sociological ‘third place’ concept – the social surroundings that are separate from the two usual social environments of home and the workplace - Kłoda divided the space into three main zones intended to match the visitors’ personalities.
Evidence-based practice is vital to nursing, and health and social care, but research suggests it is less widespread than it should be. One reason may be that front-line practitioners do not always have the support, time and knowledge to search for and review evidence.

While web analytical tools (e.g. Google Analytics) used by such websites can provide descriptive measures of users, there is a disconnection between this data and the current understanding of health information-seeking behaviour. In this work, we leverage a theoretical model to interpret the Google Analytics data. Drawn on the visualisation of user behaviours based on this model, our research shows that better website design can be informed, and the evaluation of health websites can be performed on the basis of different user profiles.
The purpose of this commentary is to provide useful guidance on conducting rigorous searches of the literature that inform the design and execution of research. Guidance for less formal literature reviews can be adapted from best practices utilized within the formalized field of evidence synthesis. Additionally, researchers can draw on guidance from PRESS (Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies) to engage in self-evaluation of their search strategies. Finally, developing an awareness of common pitfalls when designing literature searches can provide researchers with confidence that their research is designed to fill clearly articulated gaps in knowledge.
To educate our campus’s health sciences audience and wider community on these topics, we have developed a range of instruction about visual health misinformation. We describe our strategies and provide suggestions for implementing visual misinformation programming for a variety of audiences.

The library includes 13 research topics, with assessment as the most prevalent. It also notes recognized experts, including van der Vleuten, ten Cate, and Norman. The key medical education research topics identified and included in the library align with what others have identified as trends in the literature. Selected topics, including workplace-based learning, equity, diversity, and inclusion, physician wellbeing and burnout, and social accountability, are emerging. Once transformed into an open educational resource, clinician-educators and medical education researchers can use and contribute to the functional library.
The literature analysis reveals diverse applications of ChatGPT in medical libraries, including aiding users in finding relevant medical information, answering queries, providing recommendations and facilitating access to resources. Potential challenges and ethical considerations associated with ChatGPT in this context are also highlighted.

In summary, despite errors and miss rates with the current platform, systematic literature search using AI appears very promising, eliminating hours of human labor while improving search quality. As AI technology continuously evolves, efforts to refine and improve AI-based literature search platforms should be continued.
Results: The 100 systematic review articles contained 453 database searches. Only 22 (4.9%) database searches reported all six PRISMA-S items. Forty-seven (10.4%) database searches could be reproduced within 10% of the number of results from the original search; 6 searches differed by more than 1000% between the originally reported number of results and the reproduction. Only one systematic review article provided the necessary search details to be fully reproducible.

Conclusion: The results of this study show heightened complexity in ChatGPT-generated SCI texts, surpassing optimal health communication readability. ChatGPT currently cannot substitute comprehensive medical consultations. Enhancing text quality could be attainable through dependence on credible sources, the establishment of a scientific board, and collaboration with expert teams. Addressing these concerns could improve text accessibility, empowering patients and facilitating informed decision-making in SCI.
We developed a highly accurate, simple, transportable, scalable method to identify publications in PubMed and Scopus authored by anesthesiology faculty. Manual checking and faculty feedback are required because not all names can be disambiguated, and some references are missed. This process can greatly reduce the burden of curating a list of faculty publications. The methodology applies to other academic departments that track faculty publications.
In November, we held our inaugural gathering, welcoming 20 colleagues from various NHS trusts. Included as a reminder / inspiration in case anyone from our team is going to this, or will consider going.
Inspired by BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs the Libraries at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals ran an initiative called Castaway Books. It's worth looking at their experience - engagement started well, but tailed off later. Keep this as evidence in case we want to trial something similar?
The genesis of the problems faced by the library, which is named after the legendary freedom fighter and scholar Lala Hardayal ( 1884- 1939) – which has a unique collection of more than 170000 books in Hindi, English, Urdu, Arabic, Persian and Sanskrit. ..one of the few Libraries in the world with a collection of at least 8000 rare books ((https://amritmahotsav.nic.in/district-reopsitory-detail.htm?2771)) – has its roots in the bickering among people who are supposed to manage the institution. What one learns that the intransigence shown by someone owning allegiance to Hindutva Supremacist viewpoint has precipitated this unforeseen situation (https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/should-i-have-made-your-wife-cm-instead-of-rabri-lalu-yadavs-jab-at-nityanand-rai/cid/1980987)
May be as you read these lines, wiser sense might have prevailed there and the library might be slowly limping back to normalcy.
Evaluation using two widely accepted tools shows that most websites related to COVID-19 are reliable and useful for physicians, researchers and the public.
People had longer attention span for video-based patient info than for text, spent longer (so less efficient) but felt better informed afterwards. I know we don't do patient info at the moment but I thought this was worth putting on one side (i.e. wiki) for future reference.

Evidence surveillance was guided by practical considerations of efficiency and sustainability. A single PubMed search covering all guideline topics, limited to systematic reviews and randomised trials, is run monthly. The search retrieves about 400 records a month of which a sixth are triaged to the guideline panels for further consideration. Evaluations with Epistemonikos and the Cochrane Stroke Trials Register demonstrated the robustness of adopting this more restrictive approach. Collaborating with the guideline team in designing, implementing and evaluating the surveillance is essential for optimising the approach.
The findings can inform future research and practice on both individual and societal levels:
During times of uncertainty, mental health practitioners should actively educate their clients about the potential consequences of excessive health information-seeking. This can include behavioural interventions, such as controlled/limited exposure to news and social media at specific times of day and/or breaks from information overload.
Moreover, the study also supports the need to promote social media literacy skills to help young people and adults critically evaluate the information they encounter and discern credible sources vs. misinformation.
Practitioners can also encourage individuals to nurture their social support networks, as well as their self-care routines. Positive interactions can limit and counterbalance the negative impact of excessive information-seeking.

This paper explores the potential of language models such as ChatGPT to transform library cataloging. Through experiments with ChatGPT, the author demonstrates its ability to generate accurate MARC records using RDA and other standards such as the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. These results demonstrate the potential of ChatGPT as a tool for streamlining the record creation process and improving efficiency in library settings. The use of AI-generated records, however, also raises important questions related to intellectual property rights and bias. The paper reviews recent studies on AI in libraries and concludes that further research and development of this innovative technology is necessary to ensure its responsible implementation in the field of library cataloging.

Nasjonalbiblioteket kjem under lupa i ei ny bok av mediehistorikar og professor Henrik G. Bastiansen ved Høgskulen i Volda.
"- I nästan 20 år har Nasjonalbiblioteket i Norge arbetat mot målet att digitalisera allt som har publicerats i Norge. Frågan är vad detta innebär - vad de gör när de digitaliserar sina källor."
Bastiansen saknar en offentlig debatt om hur Nasjonalbiblioteket uppfyller detta uppdrag och betydelsen av deras arbete, bortom deras älskade image som "bäst i klassen".
- De är naturligtvis mycket begåvade, i den absoluta internationella toppen. Men det har länge saknats ett externt perspektiv på deras arbete. Som institution är de särskilt angelägna om att bygga upp ett positivt rykte om hur bra de är och hur demokratiskt viktig digitaliseringen är - och det är rätt, men det är också det enda vi hör om deras arbete. För att sammanfatta: De manipulerar vårt kulturarv på ett teknologiskt sätt utan att någon ifrågasätter det", säger forskaren.
