This webinar will explore how librarians are supporting researchers in applied and discipline-specific areas. Presenters will include three chemistry professionals, two who have gone into library sciences supporting fellow researchers and one who has pursued a distinguished research career in chemistry. They will examine whether researchers' needs vary with their involvement in applied versus basic research, and examine the impact on the librarian's skill set and tools. Other key themes include how important is it for a librarian to have an educational background in the disciplines they support, and how do they stay up-to-date in their field?

  • Building a professional identity - From research to impact Recorded: Apr 16 2015 57 mins
    Prof. Carol Tenopir, University of Tennessee; Manon Burger, Elsevier Journals; Wouter Haak, VP Product Strategy, Elsevier
    For librarians as researchers and librarians supporting researchers:

    What is your relationship with research?

    Conducting research can be richly rewarding in terms of career development, institutional enrichment, and understanding the needs and pressures of library users. Many librarians and information professionals have a dual role with respect to research: leading their own research/participating as part of a research team, and advising other researchers on achieving research impact.

    Join our webinar presenters as they explore three critical facets of managing a research career and reputation. Eminent LIS scholar Carol Tenopir will begin with a presentation based on the new Library Connect ebooklet Librarians Do Research Too! She will outline an easy-to-follow blueprint for LIS professionals to begin their own research projects. Manon Burger will then describe how to prepare and promote articles to increase their visibility and attract readers. Wouter Haak concludes with information on measuring research impact via My Research Dashboard, a new service being rolled out to Elsevier authors that includes metrics, such as citations, usage, views, scholarly mentions and more.
  • Institutional & research repositories: Characteristics, relationships and roles Recorded: Feb 26 2015 76 mins
    Judith Russell, Univ. of Florida; Michael Witt, Purdue Univ., James Toon, Univ. of Edinburgh; Alicia Wise, Elsevier
    Many types of institutional and research repositories exist to address different institutional needs, digital collections and research outputs. In this webinar, the presenters will discuss the approaches their institutions have taken, their mandates, software and systems, and staffing. They will also look at the relationships involved: between the library and research office, institutions and publishers, and repository staff and authors.
  • Beyond data management plans, creative data services in libraries Recorded: Nov 13 2014 61 mins
    Kimberly Silk, University of Toronto; Mike Mertens, Research Libraries UK; Joel Herndon, Duke University
    As researchers and scholars increasingly move toward data-driven research, librarians are offering a growing number of services to support a diverse set of research needs. In this webinar, presenters will discuss large-scale projects and one-to-one consulting at the institute, university and consortium levels. They will explore services provided by librarians with technical expertise in areas such as linked data and data visualization, as well as the role of liaison librarians.
  • Rise of the databrarian Recorded: Oct 16 2014 59 mins
    Margaret Henderson, Virginia Commonwealth Univ.; Jeroen Rombouts, TU Delft, Jennifer Clark, Benefitfocus
    With the increased pressure in the research community to make research data available, librarians are becoming more involved in the process. Librarians are well suited to these new tasks with their experience in curation, description, preservation and access. In this webinar, learn how librarians are transitioning and enhancing current skillsets, and what new skills are required.

  • Librarians & altmetrics: Tools, tips and use cases Recorded: Feb 20 2014 59 mins
    Michael Taylor, Elsevier Labs; Jenny de la Salle, freelance library consultant; Kristi Holmes, Washington University
    Altmetrics are becoming an integral part of looking at the impact and reach of research. Tracking social and online outlets, altmetrics provide quick feedback from a wide range of sources. In this webinar, library experts working with altmetrics will discuss how altmetrics work, tools available, and the application of altmetrics in a range of institutions and for various user groups -- researchers, research offices, departments, etc. What advice do early-adopter librarians have to share? Find out in this information-packed free webinar on altmetrics.
  • How libraries are raising researchers’ reputations (Asia Pacific focus) Recorded: Dec 5 2013 53 mins
    Amberyn Thomas, University of Queensland; Takanori Hayashi, AFFRIT; David Palmer, University of Hong Kong
    With the continued extension of the academic research enterprise – both locally and globally – librarians are being asked to support researchers and the research organization with new services. Learn how three librarians from leading Asia Pacific institutions are implementing data, tools and strategies to advance their researchers and strengthen their organizations' research mission during a free Library Connect webinar.
  • How librarians can help researchers navigate open access choices Recorded: Oct 17 2013 60 mins
    David Rew, University of Southampton; Laura Hassink, Elsevier; Robin Champieux, Oregon Health & Science University
    Open access publishing has grown dramatically in the last five years. However, as with many paradigm shifts, there are growing pains associated, including predatory journal practices and lack of clarity around terms and options.

    In this live webinar, three presenters will guide librarians through the OA publishing landscape, discussing key issues librarians should raise with their researchers. Librarians will be able to help their researchers take advantage of OA publishing for discovery and dissemination of their own research, while concurrently ensuring that scholars make informed choices.

    Main topics:
    • Ethical and non-ethical OA publishing approaches
    • Tools to assess OA journal quality
    • Data sources for OA and the role of institutional repositories
    • Open does not mean indexed - visibility and quality considerations
  • How librarians are raising researchers’ reputations Recorded: Sep 12 2013 57 mins
    Chris Erdmann, Heather Chisholm, Wouter Gerritsma
