Advancing Research Visibility Through Collections: A Case Study From Nursing, Travis Nace

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Temple University Libraries' scholarly repository, TUScholarShare, began in 2020 and is a relatively young scholarly repository with growth potential in many subject areas. Travis Nace, the nursing liaison librarian, noticed an area for potential growth: nursing-produced posters were noticeably absent from the repository. No specific community or sub-community (collections) were focused on nursing research and scholarly publications despite much being produced at Temple University.

In the spring of 2022 discussion began to create a nursing specific community. Talks were scheduled with Temple University Hospital nurse educators to obtain posters presented between 2015 and 2020. These were seen as a good …

Finding The Golden Mean: An Efficient Model For Improving Discovery And Access For Legacy Theses And Dissertations In A Medical Library’S Institutional Repository, Brandon Pieczko

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Developing an efficient and cost-effective method for providing access to legacy print theses and dissertations is a challenge faced by many libraries that serve medical schools and other academic health science programs. The significant staff time and financial cost associated with systematically digitizing and providing complete online access to print theses and dissertations can be problematic given the potentially limited return on that investment as reflected in patron use statistics and other metrics. This presentation will describe how a medical school library improved the discoverability and accessibility of its legacy print theses and dissertations by implementing a cost-effective, selective digitization …

Getting Creative: Implementing "Fan Favorite" Voting In Digital Commons Event, Jennifer Deal, Elizabeth Suelzer

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

Problem/Scenario: The coordinators of our institution's 2023 Scientific Day event wanted to allow attendees to cast votes for a new Fan Favorite poster award and they asked library staff for help in making this possible. Library staff maintain the institutional repository (IR) for our large health care system, and posters from Scientific Day are deposited in the IR so they are visible to judges and attendees during the virtual event. Our Digital Commons IR did not have a built-in voting system, so library staff used Springshare's LibWizard and our HTML and design skills to add "Like" buttons to conference posters …

Pure-Ly For Authors: An Update Of A Health System Researcher Profile Platform, Heather J. Martin, Amanda Schwartz

Medical Institutional Repositories in Libraries (MIRL)

In 2023, a large healthcare system transitioned their institutional repository's author profile service to an upgraded and more comprehensive platform, and in doing so re-energized author and leadership buy-in.

After Digital Commons'™ Expert Gallery Suite eliminated some functionality, institutional repository (IR) staff began the process of exploring other author profile platforms that would align with essential workflows. Elsevier's™ Pure rose to the top of compatible and robust platforms suitable to replace our previous solution.

Pure's™ automated importing and database-integration was a primary draw, but IR staff had to find creative ways to utilize the administrative features that didn't integrate with …

How Does The Us Media Frame Personal Experiences Of Termination Of Pregnancy, Christina Relacion

Student Works

Limited studies have examined the lived experience of those facing termination of pregnancy due to fetal anomaly in the U.S., particularly after the 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. There exists a body of research elsewhere around the world studying how the media frames these experiences, but little is known about the role American media organizations play as health educators for critical reproductive healthcare topics, such as the termination of pregnancy. This critical analysis sought to understand how the U.S. media frames personal accounts of those who have experienced termination of pregnancy due to fetal anomaly, or …
