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.
'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. Search Smart currently evaluates the coverage and functionality of more than a hundred leading scholarly databases, including most major multidisciplinary databases and many that are discipline-specific'
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
The aim of this study was to assess the ChatGPT-4 (ChatGPT) large language model (LLM) on tasks relevant to community pharmacy. To read the full article, choose Open Athens “Institutional Login” and search for “Midlands Partnership”.
Current scales are often lengthy and redundant, leading to exhaustion and response burden. The goal is to use machine learning techniques, specifically item-reduction methods and selection algorithms, to develop shorter and more efficient scales.

We assessed the ability of ChatGPT (generative artificial intelligence-based large language model) to predict DDIs in a real-world setting... Low sensitivity values suggest a lack of success in identifying DDIs by ChatGPT, and further development is required before it can reliably assess potential DDIs in real-world scenarios.

Short nursing editorial summarises issues with searching using Chat GPT and similar AI. It also has a paragraph suggesting how you can use generative AI in scholarly writing. Could be a useful one to quote in search training.
development of ‘Prepare to Progress’, a preapplication programme for potential Student Nursing Associate (SNA) applicants at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Created collaboratively by the Trust's Library and Knowledge Services and Professional Education teams, the programme aims to provide realistic course expectations, teach study skills and boost confidence in using library services
This study makes use of the facet analysis technique and draws upon various sources of data and information to develop a taxonomy of AI literacy. The research consists of the following key steps: a comprehensive review of the literature published on AI literacy research, an examination of well-known AI classification schemes and taxonomies, a review of prior research on data/information/digital literacy research and a qualitative and quantitative analysis of 1,031 metadata records on AI literacy publications [do we want to try to get full text of this?]
his paper presents an extensive literature and review analysis that examines AI projects implemented in library and archives settings, asking the following research questions: RQ1: How is artificial intelligence being used in libraries and archives practice? RQ2: What ethical concerns are being identified and addressed during AI implementation in libraries and archives? The results of this literature review show that AI implementation is growing in libraries and archives and that practitioners are using AI for increasingly varied purposes. We found that AI implementation was most common in large, academic libraries. Materials used in AI projects usually involved digitized and born digital text and images, though materials also ranged to include web archives, electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), and maps. AI was most often used for metadata extraction and reference and research services
Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to reshape mental health practices, policies and research in the coming decade. Simultaneously, mental health inequalities persist globally, imposing considerable costs on individuals, communities and economies. This study aims to investigate the impact of AI technologies on future citizenship for individuals with mental health challenges (MHCs).
