The document discusses the importance of emerging technologies in medical libraries, highlighting how medical librarians can adapt to advancements such as mobile technology, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence. The Medical Library Association's systematic review project aimed to identify priority areas for research to aid medical librarians in navigating a rapidly changing healthcare environment. Key findings include insights into the roles of medical librarians as information curators and technology facilitators, emphasizing the need for updated skills and knowledge in utilizing these emerging technologies.

- 2. What is the #MLASR Project? "The fact that 140 MLA leaders and 108 researchers ... participated in this Delphi study suggests that the profession values the place of research in advancing their professional practices. The top-ranked questions ... will guide decision makers and researchers in defining which areas of systematic inquiry deserve the highest priority." Eldredge JD, Ascher MT, Holmes HN, Harris MR.

- 4. What is Team #6 doing? “The explosion of information, expansion of technology (especially mobile technology), and complexity of the health care environment present medical librarians and medical libraries opportunities and challenges. To live up to the opportunities and challenges, what kinds of skill sets or information structure are medical librarians or medical libraries required to have or acquire so as to be strong partners or contributors of continuing effectiveness to the changing environment?” ie.

- 10. Roles for #MedLibs “Medical librarians are geniuses of honing the question & finding info that matches the precise question” “Evaluate information delivering technologies and recommend usage to clinicians” “Need guidance in the growing tech wilderness. Choosing appropriate solutions based on available evidence.” “I Love that Medical Libraries are the Free Agents of Knowledge. I don't ever worry this might be a bias.” “Any good leader values people who can help acquire, organize, and disseminate meaning and knowledge.” “At minimum the link between librarians and faculty has to be strengthened- they should be active faculty, all prof” “As they are trusted resources, role should be both curator of available options, & possibly benchmarking best practices” Libraries also facilitate long-term memory, this helps spot bad ideas being recycled.” “How can med library evidence-based info be translated into usable app for docs/nurses?” “Librarians are like the ultimate data curators...or they could be” “would love to see public libraries display/teach health apps - not province of only med libs” Tuesday, May 13, 14

Survey Highlights Brief: 6 months (April - September 2013) 45 respondents 340 individual technology suggestions “We need our own skills to have a massive overhaul.” “Make them cheaper to implement!” “But I want to see a librarian know how to translate that knowledge to his/her users using different tech means.” “If we are going to be taken seriously by the healthcare practitioners we serve, we have to take a leap forward in time.” Tuesday, May 13, 14
