Presentation about the IATUL Research Impact Things
Event Information
About this event
In the last few years, we saw libraries across the world take on key roles in driving research initiatives (Lang, L., et al., 2018), led to the creation of research support positions and the role of liaison librarians has also shifted.
The IATUL Special Interest Group – Metrics and Research Impact (SIG-MaRI) recognised the lack of formal training and development programme to upskill staff transitioning into research support roles. It has been, and still is a challenge faced by many SIG-MaRI members. University of New South Wales (UNSW) Library launched the 10 Research Impact Things in 2019, which aimed to develop foundational skills in research impact across the Library based on the bibliometric capabilities framework (Cox, A., et al, 2017). The IATUL SIG-MaRI adapted and significantly revised the UNSW programme for the broader IATUL members as a self-paced training and development tool.
The session will be presented by Shiobhan Smith, Librarian at Research Support Unit Manager at the University of Otago (@ShiobhanSmith), and is is organised by the Evaluation and Metrics special interest group from the European Association for Health Information and Libraries (EAHIL).
Although the webinar is open also to non EAHIL members, we suggest having a look at the association website, and consider joining if you would you like to be a part of a network for European health information professionals and librarians!
Please, note that by registering for this online seminar you agree to the recording of the event.
Looking forward to meeting you!
