At the Medical Library Association's Insight Initiative Summit 1, held March 6-7, 2018, academic and hospital librarians and publishing industry partners came together to discuss their shared role in engaging users of health sciences information in an era in which "disruptors" such as pirate websites, scientific collaboration networks, and preprint servers pose threats to traditional means of access to scholarly content. Through a mixture of keynote talks, themed panel discussions, and small-group problem-solving exercises, the summit program raised important questions, sparked conversation, and provided insight into the need for both libraries and publishing organizations to improve their user experience, lower their barriers to access, and offer value to users that cannot be provided by competitors, including helping authors and students become informed, responsible advocates for and consumers of scholarly publications. The key takeaways from the summit are expected to impact libraries' and publishers' strategies and stimulate the cocreation of enduring materials to enhance user engagement in disseminating and discovering scientific and medical information.
在2018年3月6日至7日举行的医学图书馆协会洞察倡议峰会1上，学术图书馆员、医院图书馆员和出版行业合作伙伴齐聚一堂，探讨在一个海盗网站、科学协作网络和预印本服务器等“破坏者”对传统学术内容获取方式构成威胁的时代，他们在吸引健康科学信息用户方面的共同作用。通过主题演讲、主题小组讨论和小组问题解决练习相结合的方式，峰会项目提出了重要问题，引发了讨论，并深入探讨了图书馆和出版机构都需要改善用户体验、降低获取障碍，以及为用户提供竞争对手无法提供的价值，包括帮助作者和学生成为有见识、有责任感的学术出版物倡导者和消费者。峰会的关键要点预计将影响图书馆和出版商的策略，并刺激共同创作持久的材料，以增强用户在传播和发现科学与医学信息方面的参与度。
