Thank you for considering! ________________________________________________________________________ My name is Jennifer Steinford, and I am a doctoral candidate enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Leadership Program at Creighton University. I am conducting a study of job satisfaction focusing on academic librarians who work in higher education institutions. Though job satisfaction is heavily researched in numerous industries, little research has been done within the realm of librarianship, let alone academic librarianship. The focus of my study is examining job satisfaction in relation to comparing remote, hybrid, and traditional on-campus work locations. I would appreciate your participation, and your answers will be kept confidential and anonymous. To participate and start the survey, please click here ; it should take no more than 10-15 minutes of your time. If you have questions about the research, please reach out, and I am happy to discuss the study with you.

Evidence Synthesis Services in Academic Libraries: Case Studies and Perspectives Proposal Deadline: February 14, 2025 Submit your proposal: CFP Google form About the Book: Evidence synthesis involves combining information from multiple studies investigating the same topic to comprehensively understand the findings (Cochrane, 2023). It includes systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and related methodologies. While evidence synthesis initially gained prominence in the medical community, virtually all disciplines now employ various review types to communicate evidence-based, reproducible research. As evidence synthesis has expanded, so has the librarian?s role in facilitating these reviews as an information expert. Key organizations recommend librarian involvement in these projects, and librarians are increasingly called upon to provide search support, information management, project management, and other services in collaboration with researchers. It is now commonplace for academic libraries to provide dedicated evidence synthesis services, and a growing community of practice facilitates the sharing of service models, workflows, and best practices. Evidence Synthesis Services in Academic Libraries: Case Studies and Perspectives aims to bring together contributions from various academic librarians on all aspects of evidence synthesis services, from assessing user needs and launching new services to marketing and assessing services and sustaining success. With the insights of knowledgeable field experts and real-life case studies, this book is designed to be a practical guide for any librarian involved in evidence synthesis. It will be a valuable resource for information practitioners in any discipline, offering a systematic approach to creating, managing, and maintaining an evidence synthesis service. The book will also provide practical tips on seeking training opportunities, mentoring other librarians, and building enduring relationships with research partners.
