Academic health sciences libraries increasingly are urged to develop research support services for faculty and students. However, moving to a research-centric culture is not easy. It requires assessment of existing competencies (defined as knowledge, experience, and skills) to identify capacity and gaps and to inform individualized and unit-level professional development activities. This case study examines the self-assessment process undertaken by librarians at a large urban academic health sciences library as they began to build a new research support services unit.
学术健康科学图书馆越来越多地被敦促为教师和学生开展研究支持服务。然而,转向以研究为中心的文化并非易事。这需要评估现有的能力(定义为知识、经验和技能),以确定能力和差距,并为个性化和单位层面的专业发展活动提供信息。本案例研究考察了一家大型城市学术健康科学图书馆的馆员在开始建立一个新的研究支持服务部门时所进行的自我评估过程。
