Title: Roles for Librarians in Research Impact Services
Description: Demand for research impact services at medical libraries is growing, but guidelines and best practices on providing these services are scarce. In this session, we reflect on the ways that research impact services have been implemented at our and other organizations and, based on those experiences, offer a preliminary set of roles that medical librarians can fill in providing these services. Through a series of guided discussions with the audience, we will introduce and refine both the roles themselves and the knowledge and skills necessary to perform each role. By the end of the session, participants will have a better understanding of the different forms that research impact services can take in medical libraries and how those services can be implemented at their own institutions.
Presenters:

• Christopher Belter – Informationist, National Institutes of Health Library, National Institutes of Health
• Karen Gutzman – Head, Research Assessment and Communications Department, Galter Health Sciences Library, Northwestern University
