Abstract

Background

Health librarians have traditionally provided mediated searches to support patient care, education and research.

Objectives

This study aims to discover the types of search result formats used by health science libraries, determine current practice among health science libraries (types of requesters served, fees, deduplication, turnaround time and citation manager use) and uncover innovative methods for providing search results.

Methods

An online survey was distributed to the MEDLIB-L, ExpertSearching, MidContinental Chapter of the Medical Library Association and ICON listservs and through direct email to selected Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries reference and education librarians.

Results

Librarians affiliated with 127 institutions from 11 countries (including the USS) and 36 USS states and territories responded. One hundred and forty-two of the total 150 analysed responses provided information on full-text access, and 81 of those 142 responses (57%) indicated that the institutions' link-resolver links were included in search results provided to the requester. The survey responses provide information on literature search services regarding turnaround time, use of a citation managers, fees and deduplication.

Conclusion

With the developing landscape of citation managers and the tools offered, these data can be used as a benchmark for librarians who are considering evaluating or modifying their search service delivery.

健康科学景观图书馆中介搜索服务

卫生图书馆员传统上提供中介搜索，以支持患者护理、教育和研究。本研究旨在发现卫生科学图书馆使用的搜索结果格式类型，确定卫生科学图书馆目前的做法(服务的请求者类型，费用，重复数据删除，周转时间和引文管理器的使用)，并揭示提供搜索结果的创新方法。方法通过MEDLIB-L、ExpertSearching、医学图书馆协会中大陆分会和ICON listservs进行在线调查，并通过直接电子邮件发送给选定的学术卫生科学图书馆协会参考和教育馆员。结果来自11个国家(包括美国)和36个美国州和地区的127个机构的图书馆员做出了回应。在总共150份经分析的回应中，有142份提供了有关全文访问的信息，而在这142份回应中，有81份(57%)表示在提供给请求者的搜索结果中包含了院校的链接解析器链接。调查回复提供了关于文献搜索服务的信息，包括周转时间、引文管理器的使用、费用和重复数据删除。随着引文管理的发展和所提供的工具，这些数据可以作为图书馆员考虑评估或修改其搜索服务交付的基准。
