These developments include the advent of online searching, the development of integrated library systems and networked resources, the expansion of interlibrary loan and document delivery systems, and the concept of the Integrated Academic Information Management System (IALMS). The contributions of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to health sciences libraries and biomedical communications are described. Conclusions and observations suggest that libraries and librarians will play a greater role in information access and management than they have in the past as networked information continues to expand.

Research paper thumbnail of Library information science and biomedical informatics: converging disciplines

Inf. Res., 2007

The disciplinary boundaries of library and information science and of biomedical informatics are ... more The disciplinary boundaries of library and information science and of biomedical informatics are remarkably similar. Both disciplines deal with data, information, and knowledge and with their storage, retrieval, and use in the service of society, yet each is rooted in its own unique sociocultural and historical context. While it is undeniable that computer technology has substantially influenced both fields, it is the fundamental principles of information and knowledge organization, storage, retrieval, and use that provide a common foundation for research and practice in the two fields. In this comparative survey, representative models and principles are provided to illustrate each field, and the methods used in the two fields are compared. Training, professional organizations, and accreditation processes in each field are described. In all of the areas reviewed here, there seems to be a convergence of the two disciplines and the likelihood of more to come. CHANGE FONT Library and i...

Objective: This study sought to describe disciplines that contribute to health literacy research and to quantify how disciplines draw from and contribute to an interdisciplinary evidence base, as measured by citation networks. Methods: We conducted a literature search for health literacy articles published between 1991 and 2015 in four bibliographic databases, producing 6,229 unique bibliographic records. We employed a scientometric tool (CiteSpace [Version 4.4.R1]) to quantify patterns in published health literacy research, including a visual path from cited discipline domains to citing discipline domains. Key Results: The number of health literacy publications increased each year between 1991 and 2015. Two spikes, in 2008 and 2013, correspond to the introduction of additional subject categories, including information science and communication. Two journals have been cited more than 2,000 times-the Journal of General Internal Medicine (n = 2,432) and Patient Education and Counseling (n = 2,252). The most recently cited journal added to the top 10 list of cited journals is the Journal of Health Communication (n = 989). Three main citation paths exist in the health literacy data set. Articles from the domain "medicine, medical, clinical" heavily cite from one domain (health, nursing, medicine), whereas articles from the domain "psychology, education, health" cite from two separate domains (health, nursing, medicine and psychology, education, social). Conclusions: Recent spikes in the number of published health literacy articles have been spurred by a greater diversity of disciplines contributing to the evidence base. However, despite the diversity of disciplines, citation paths indicate the presence of a few, self-contained disciplines contributing to most of the literature, suggesting a lack of interdisciplinary research. To address complex and evolving challenges in the health literacy field, interdisciplinary team science, that is, integrating science from across multiple disciplines, should continue to grow. [Health Literacy Research and Practice. 2017;1(4):e182-e191.] Plain Language Summary: The addition of diverse disciplines conducting health literacy scholarship has spurred recent spikes in the number of publications. However, citation paths suggest that interdisciplinary research can be strengthened. Findings directly align with the increasing emphasis on team science, and support opportunities and resources that incentivize interdisciplinary health literacy research.

The goal is to initiate a working group to coordinate systemic design research issues across practitioner communities. This SIG addresses the insufficiency of user-centered design and informatics research to design for system and service-level innovations in healthcare. The SIG seeks to coordinate communications and participation across design practice, research disciplines, and areas of health practice for ...

Research paper thumbnail of Assessing Internet access and use in a medically underserved population: implications for providing enhanced health information services

Health Information & Libraries Journal, 2011

This is especially true in medically underserved populations, which are often viewed as having limited access to health information. To improve communication between an urban health centre and the community it serves, a team of library and information science researchers undertook an assessment of patients' level and methods of access to and use of the Internet. Data were collected in 53 face-to-face anonymous interviews with patients at the centre. Interviews were tape-recorded for referential accuracy, and data were analysed to identify patterns of access and use. Seventy-two percentage of study participants reported having access to the Internet through either computers or cell phones. Barriers to Internet access were predominantly lack of equipment or training rather than lack of interest. Only 21% of those with Internet access reported using the Internet to look for health information. The findings suggest that lack of access to the Internet in itself is not the primary barrier to seeking health information in this population and that the digital divide exists not at the level of information access but rather at the level of information use.

Research paper thumbnail of Applying evidence in practice: A qualitative case study of the factors affecting residents’ decisions

Patient care based on best available evidence is increasingly viewed as the hallmark of good qual... more Patient care based on best available evidence is increasingly viewed as the hallmark of good quality medical diagnosis and treatment, yet its uptake is often slow and uneven and the reasons underlying the slow diffusion of evidence-based guidelines remain elusive. The authors report a qualitative study conducted at a major US teaching hospital which sought to discover the reasons why an evidence-based anticoagulation guideline appeared to be applied irregularly, with problematic results. Using a theoretical framework derived from Rogers’ work on the diffusion of innovation, this article describes the ways in which a group of residents evaluated and applied evidence in the context of caring for their patients. Future work in evidence-based practice can benefit from a greater emphasis on studies that use multi-method, qualitative designs to explore the complex ways in which people interact with information and the changes that ensue from its use.
