Systematic Reviews In Business And Management: Are Business Librarians Ready?, Grace Liu

University Libraries Faculty Publications

In recent years, there has been a trending need for library support in systematic reviews beyond the health science and medical disciplines. Splenda (2020) at Carnegie Mellon University documented the library’s first collaboration with Campbell Collaboration to extend the systematic review support to the business and management field. But how ready are business librarians in supporting systematic reviews? In this article, I would like to share my recent thinking about this topic and discuss how to get us prepared for this emerging role.

Budgeting For Library Programming, Shannon D. Jones

MUSC Faculty Bookshelf

This chapter draws on the author’s experience as an outreach librarian to provide practical guidance for budgeting library programs in financially constrained environments. It emphasizes that limited funding should not stifle creativity; rather, it should inspire innovation and strategic thinking. The chapter outlines approaches for developing strong program proposals, identifying key budget components, and aligning initiatives with institutional priorities. It also explores various funding strategies, including internal support, partnerships, grants, revenue generation, and crowdfunding. Ultimately, the chapter encourages library professionals to think broadly and design meaningful programs that enhance the library’s visibility, impact, and value.

Measuring Use Of The Academic Print Reference Collection, Jennifer Putnam Davis

Georgia Library Quarterly

Level of use is a key factor in print reference collection development, but often this is determined by anecdotal observation rather than empirical measures. This is evident by the lack of use studies available in the literature. Yet there is a large presence of literature on weeding the print reference collection to repurpose its space. Managing this collection without assessing use can have negative impacts on both library staff and library users. This article presents a review of the available literature on use studies of print reference collections in academic libraries. Methodology and results of the studies are discussed.

Highlighting Faculty Research: The Researcher Profile Audit Service From The Himmelfarb Library At The George Washington University, Sara Hoover, Tom Harrod

Himmelfarb Library Faculty Posters and Presentations

Researcher profile systems are web-based tools which attempt to capture the scholarly output of a researcher. Some tools such as Google Scholar profiles and ORCiDs are opt-in systems that researchers must actively create and cultivate. Others such as the Scopus author profile are algorithmically generated and must be claimed by an author and checked for accuracy.

These profiles continue to grow in importance as a way for fellow researchers, potential employers, and possible collaborators to learn about a researcher’s scholarship. Therefore, it’s important for researchers to maintain these profiles and to ensure that they are accurate and complete.
