Academic medical libraries sit at the crossroads of the complex landscape of the health sciences. Medical librarians in these environments must navigate and lead endeavors and services that involve many professions. In addition to being excellent leaders in their own professions, medical librarians must also improve their skills in leading in an interprofessional context by informing themselves of the qualities and skills valued in connected professions. In this project, the authors set out to understand leadership principles from three professions closely affiliated with medical librarianship to identify a core interdisciplinary leadership skill set. To do so, we conducted a mapping review of the existing literature from the last five years around leadership in academic medicine, academic nursing, hospital administration, and medical librarianship to identify core leadership skills across the disciplines and discover potential differences. We used text analysis and descriptive analysis to extract skills that were mentioned and uncover trends in the identified literature. Modern medical librarians must extend their leadership beyond the internal library setting, particularly as they become more involved with connecting and collaborating with leaders across disciplines. To successfully navigate such an interdisciplinary landscape and enhance the impact of the library in the broader organization, it is important to have the skills and vocabulary of leadership across the various professions.
学术医学图书馆位于卫生科学复杂领域的十字路口。这些环境中的医学图书馆员必须参与和领导涉及多个专业的工作和服务。除了在自己的专业领域成为优秀的领导者外，医学图书馆员还必须通过了解相关专业所重视的素质和技能，提高在跨专业环境中领导的能力。在这个项目中，作者旨在从与医学图书馆学密切相关的三个专业中了解领导力原则，以确定一套核心的跨学科领导力技能。为此，我们对过去五年中关于学术医学、学术护理、医院管理和医学图书馆学的领导力的现有文献进行了映射回顾，以确定跨学科的核心领导技能，并发现潜在的差异。我们使用文本分析和描述性分析来提取被提及的技能，并揭示所确定文献中的趋势。现代医学图书馆员必须将他们的领导力扩展到内部图书馆环境之外，特别是当他们越来越多地参与与跨学科的领导者联系和合作时。要成功驾驭这种跨学科的环境，并提高图书馆在更广泛组织中的影响力，重要的是要具备不同专业的领导技能和词汇。
