Objectives: To analyze the extent to which the library is fulfilling the information needs of its patrons in light of recent data showing heavy usage of SciHub in [our metro city] and specifically to gain insight into the percentage of referenced resources and content areas that were not made available to researchers through library funded subscriptions. Methods: Using Scopus, we identified papers published by the institution’s health sciences faculty in each of the previous 5 years. Papers co-authored by researchers at other institutions were excluded in order to focus the analysis solely on information resources available to scholars at the target institution. The citations from the resulting set of publications were extracted to spreadsheets, where they were subjected to a data normalization process. Incomplete or obviously erroneous references were removed. The remaining set of citations was sorted alphabetically by journal title, then secondarily by citation year. Using a combination of data sources, including publisher entitlement reports, catalog records, and previously downloaded holdings reports, we compared each citation to the library’s collection at year of Research Section Spotlight Hypothesis, vol. 29, no. 2, Fall/Winter 2017 40 citation to determine if access to the cited resource was provided and paid for by the library. Results: Published literature authored by University of Utah health sciences faculty between 2012 and 2016 yielded 119,794 citations for analysis. The libraries had print or electronic access to 99,298 (82.89%) of these cited resources. Another 9,220 (7.7%) were accessible from open access platforms, leaving only 11,084 (9.25%) citations that needed to be obtained from other sources, such as interlibrary loan, pay-per-view, or illegitimate sites such as Sci-Hub. Of the cited, but not provided, literature, 26% comes from backfile content whereas 74% comes from more recently published work. Identified collection gaps include the disciplines of Neurology, Cardiology, and Oncology. Conclusion: A comprehensive evaluation of health sciences author citations over a 5-year period demonstrated that the vast majority were available from library-funded resources, thereby suggesting that the library’s collection has been adequately meeting the needs of researchers and scholars. This study provides valuable insight into faculty information-seeking behaviors and has implications for future collection development, service offerings, and funding priorities within the library. Further study is needed to explore correlations between library-funded access to cited resources and other university metrics such as faulty recruitment and grant funding, as well as to investigate purported Sci-Hub activity in light of our findings. 2nd Place Authors: Joanne Marshall, AHIP, FMLA, Research Professor, School of Information and Library Science Chapel Hill, NC; Amber Wells, Doctoral Graduate, Dept of Sociology, Chapel Hill, NC; Kathel Dunn, Associate Fellowship Program Director, National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD; Joyce Backus, Associate Director for Library Operations, National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD Title: The Role of MEDLINE in Patient Care: Results of a Secondary Analysis of the Value of Libraries Study Abstract: Objectives: What role does the MEDLINE database play in relation to other information resources that are available to health care providers?

What is the role of MEDLINE in positively impacting patient care? Since health care providers use multiple information resources in Research Section Spotlight Hypothesis, vol. 29, no. 2, Fall/Winter 2017 41 providing patient care, what is the specific role of MEDLINE? Methods: A previous survey on the use of health information resources for patient care obtained 16,122 responses from 56 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. The study asked respondents to indicate resources used in answering specific clinical questions. On average, respondents reported using 3.5 resources to answer their question. This analysis used advanced descriptive statistics and regression analysis to examine the specific information resources used and how they were used in combination with one another. The use of more resources was associated with more changes made to patient care and increased avoidance of adverse events. MEDLINE was more likely to be among the resources consulted than any other information resource except journals. The analysis reported in this paper provides new insights into how MEDLINE is used in conjunction with other resources to answer clinical questions. Results: Our additional analysis of the Value Study data found that MEDLINE and online journals were the two most frequently used information resources. Respondents reported using an average of 3.5 resources when seeking additional information related to a specific patient care decision making situation. Using more information resources was associated with improved clinical decision making and a higher probability of making changes to patient care and avoiding adverse events. MEDLINE was most likely to be among the combinations of information resources used by physicians, residents and nurses. Conclusion: MEDLINE continues to be a key information resource for health care providers as they seek answers to patient care questions. The MEDLINE database is also used in the preparation of many other specialized health information resources and point of care information tools. Since health professionals use multiple information resources, libraries and librarians continue to have an important role in providing access to and supporting the use of a wide range of information tools. Honorable Mention Authors: Tanja Bekhuis, AHIP, Principal Scientist, TCB Research & Indexing LLC, Pittsburgh, PA Title: Training in Support of Data-Driven Research: A Qualitative Study of Library Workshops in Top National Institutes of Health-Funded and National Science Foundation-Funded Universities Research Section Spotlight Hypothesis, vol. 29, no. 2, Fall/Winter 2017 42 Abstract: Objectives: In an age of data-driven research and competitive funding, libraries help their patrons acquire new skills. To do so, some offer workshops about knowledge discovery, analysis, and management of various kinds of data. The primary objective of this qualitative study was to explore the nature of workshops offered by libraries to support data-driven research in top NIHand NSF-funded universities. Additionally, we developed a catalog of workshops, and indexed the resources and thematic content. Methods: To identify top-funded universities, we used NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the NSF Budget Internet Information System. From corresponding websites, we extracted information on 99 workshops offered by health sciences libraries (n=5) and main libraries (n=5) in schools funded by NIH and NSF, respectively. Workshop title, duration, and description were catalogued by library and source of federal funding for the university. We used NVivo 11 Pro (QSR International) for qualitative data analysis and TExtract® (TEXYZ) to semi-automate indexing the content of the catalog. Themes were first identified in textual patterns and then were refined by an analyst. Thematic overlap was described across funding source. Additionally, we identified themes unique to each subset. Results: Main libraries in NSF-funded schools offered 36% more workshops than health sciences libraries in NIH-funded schools (57 vs 42). Overall workshop duration ranged from 1 to 16 hours in a bimodal distribution (1st mode = 1 hour; 2nd mode = 3 hours). The distribution of duration for NSF schools differed from the NIH distribution. We identified 15 main themes overall: statistical programming and data visualization occurred most often, and finding funds for research and open science least often. Thematic distributions varied with funding source. For example, bioinformatics occurred most often in the NIH-funded subset and statistical programming in the NSF subset. For each subset, 20 most informative indexing terms were identified after sorting and discretizing into 7 quantiles. Top indexing terms included: data visualization, pathway analysis, and data management (NIH schools); data analysis, data management plan (DMP), and Python (NSF schools). Conclusion: A catalog of workshops organized by university funding source and library, along with 2 indexes (resource and subject), will be publicly available. The analytical results, as well as index content, yield insights regarding workshop coverage. Implications for strategic planning and development of library workshops in support of data-driven research will be discussed.
