Introduction: Literature searches are the most important value-added service our library provides. Quantifiable data is regularly gathered for each literature search performed, but measurable outcomerelated feedback from patrons is harder to obtain. After consulting the literature and seeking input from colleagues, we devised an easy to implement procedure that has enhanced our data collection activities, capturing the value and impact of library services. Description: Two weeks after literature search results are delivered, patrons receive an automated email inviting them to complete a brief, anonymous survey on the timeliness, relevance, and intended use of their research results. Patrons can also provide additional comments and suggestions. The email mentions the search topic as a memory prompt but is otherwise generic. We decided on a two-week delay between sending the results and the survey email; enough time to review results yet not so long as to hamper recall. We review responses monthly, and incorporate the data into our annual reports. Outcomes: Response rates since implementation in 2014 have averaged 59%. We receive positive comments about our services, useful information regarding how people discover our libraries, and reasons people request literature to support direct patient care, program planning, professional development and clinical research. Discussion: The automated feedback procedure is now an important part of our regular workflow. Information collected using the survey has provided us with rich data to inform strategic planning and advocacy endeavors, and it demonstrates the value and impact of the library from the perspective of clinicians, managers and administrators.

In this paper we study the changes in academic library services inspired by the Open Science movement and especially the changes prompted from Open Data as a founding part of Open Science. We argue that academic libraries face the even bigger challenges for accommodating and providing support for Open Big Data composed from existing raw data sets and new massive sets generated from data driven research. Ensuring the veracity of Open Big Data is a complex problem dominated by data science. For academic libraries, that challenge triggers not only the expansion of traditional library services, but also leads to adoption of a set of new roles and responsibilities. That includes, but is not limited to development of the supporting models for Research Data Management, providing Data Management Plan assistance, expanding the qualifications of library personnel toward data science literacy, integration of the library services into research and educational process by taking part in research grants and many others. We outline several approaches taken by some academic libraries and by libraries at the City University of New York (CUNY) to meet necessities imposed by doing research and education with Open Big Data – from changes in libraries’ administrative structure, changes in personnel qualifications and duties, leading the interdisciplinary advisory groups, to active collaboration in principal projects.

The following reflection briefly describes the unpredicted drive of online LIS education during the COVID-19 lockdown at the National Institute of Library and Information Sciences (NILIS), University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is a unique story in an unconventional educational setting supported by a handful of institutional academic staff and a band of visiting lecturers from various institutions. University of Colombo (UOC) is a high ranked government funded University in Sri Lanka which consists of nine faculties, seven institutes and seven centers on its academic profile. Unlike other faculties and institutions within the UOC system, NILIS does not have a uniform supply of learners through regular channels since it does not offer undergraduate courses. However, NILIS provides Advanced Certificate to Diploma/Higher Diploma (professional) and Postgraduate Diploma to MPhil/PhD (postgraduate) education in Library and Information Science, Teacher Librarianship and Information Management. Fifteen courses are offered below undergraduate level spread over five regional centers. Four postgraduate courses are conducted at the NILIS headquarters only. Each course is coordinated by a single academic (who can be from internal or external academic staff). Each member from the six office assistants of NILIS has been assigned as Course Assistants to support the Coordinators. A majority of courses are conducted in Sinhala language while one class is conducted in Tamil language. Sinhala and Tamil are vernacular languages in Sri Lanka. Postgraduate courses are either held in English (the link language), or bilingually.

Openness in science and education is increasing in importance within the digital knowledge society. So far, less attention has been paid to teaching Open Science in bachelor’s degrees or in qualitative methods. Therefore, the aim of this article is to use a seminar example to explore what Open Science practices can be taught in qualitative research and how digital tools can be involved. The seminar focused on the following practices: Open data practices, the practice of using the free and open source tool “Collaborative online Interpretation, the practice of participating, cooperating, collaborating and contributing through participatory technologies and in social (based) networks. To learn Open Science practices, the students were involved in a qualitative research project about “Use of digital technologies for the study and habitus of students”. The study shows the practices of Open Data are easy to teach, whereas the use of free and open source tools and participatory technologies for collaboration, participation, cooperation and contribution is more difficult. In addition, a cultural shift would have to take place within German universities to promote Open Science practices in general.
