This study sought to understand the needs of biomedical researchers related to the research lifecycle and the present state of library support for biomedical research.
Qualitative interview data were collected from biomedical researchers who were asked to describe their research activities from identifying a problem to measuring the impact of their findings. Health sciences library leaders were surveyed about the services that they currently provide or plan to provide in supporting biomedical research.
Library services were strongest at the beginning and end of the research lifecycle but were weaker in the conducting phase of research. Co-occurrence of codes from the qualitative data suggests that library services are on the fringe of rather than integrated into the research lifecycle.
Findings from this study suggest that tradition-based service models of health sciences libraries are insufficient to meet the needs of biomedical researchers. Investments by libraries in services that integrate with the conducting phase of research are needed for libraries to remain relevant in their support of the research lifecycle.
本研究旨在了解与研究生命周期相关的生物医学研究人员的需求，以及图书馆目前对生物医学研究的支持状况。
从生物医学研究人员那里收集了定性访谈数据，要求他们描述从确定问题到衡量研究结果影响的研究活动。对健康科学图书馆负责人进行了调查，了解他们目前提供或计划提供的支持生物医学研究的服务。
图书馆服务在研究生命周期的开始和结束阶段最强，但在研究进行阶段较弱。定性数据中的代码共同出现表明，图书馆服务处于边缘地位，而不是融入研究生命周期。
本研究的结果表明，传统的健康科学图书馆服务模式不足以满足生物医学研究人员的需求。图书馆需要投资于与研究进行阶段相整合的服务，以使图书馆在支持研究生命周期方面保持相关性。
