Critical librarianship in health sciences libraries: an introduction.

The Medical Library Association recently announced its commitment to diversity and inclusion. While this is a positive start, critical librarianship takes the crucial concepts of diversity and inclusion one step further by advocating for social justice action and the dismantling of oppressive institutional structures, including white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism. Critical librarianship takes many forms, but, at its root, is focused on interrogating and disrupting inequitable systems, including changing racist cataloging rules, creating student-driven information literacy instruction, supporting inclusive and ethical publishing models, and rejecting the notion of libraries as neutral spaces. This article presents examples of the application of critical practice in libraries as well as ideas for applying critical librarianship to the health sciences.

Research evaluation support services in biomedical libraries.

Objective: The paper provides a review of current practices related to evaluation support services reported by seven biomedical and research libraries. Methods: A group of seven libraries from the United States and Canada described their experiences with establishing evaluation support services at their libraries. A questionnaire was distributed among the libraries to elicit information as to program development, service and staffing models, campus partnerships, training, products such as tools and reports, and resources used for evaluation support services. The libraries also reported interesting projects, lessons learned, and future plans. Results: The seven libraries profiled in this paper report a variety of service models in providing evaluation support services to meet the needs of campus stakeholders. The service models range from research center cores, partnerships with research groups, and library programs with staff dedicated to evaluation support services. A variety of products and services were described such as an automated tool to develop rank-based metrics, consultation on appropriate metrics to use for evaluation, customized publication and citation reports, resource guides, classes and training, and others. Implementing these services has allowed the libraries to expand their roles on campus and to contribute more directly to the research missions of their institutions. Conclusions: Libraries can leverage a variety of evaluation support services as an opportunity to successfully meet an array of challenges confronting the biomedical research community, including robust efforts to report and demonstrate tangible and meaningful outcomes of biomedical research and clinical care. These services represent a transformative direction that can be emulated by other biomedical and research libraries.

Proposta de elaboração de um tesauro Espírita Categorização segundo obras de Kardec / Proposal for the elaboration of a Spiritist Thesaurus Categorization according to works by Kardec

Pensando nas bibliotecas especializadas, na doutrina espírita e na organização e padronização da indexação surgiu a proposta da elaboração de um tesauro espírita. Segundo pesquisa do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) de 2010, o número de espíritas vem crescendo no Brasil e, com isso, os centros espíritas também estão em expansão, muitos possuem sua própria biblioteca ou sala de leitura. Um dos desafios do bibliotecário que trabalha em centros espíritas é a falta de instrumentos que o ajudem a desenvolver a indexação de forma padronizada. A Federação Espírita elaborou um manual para a implantação de bibliotecas espíritas e, também, uma Classificação Decimal Espírita (CDE) com a ajuda de profissionais voluntários, mesmo assim, ainda falta uma ferramenta de controle terminológico adequado para a indexação, já que as existentes são voltadas apenas para a representação física do item e não para sua representação temática. Ainda a partir dos dados da mesma pesquisa observa-se que, no Brasil o grupo de adeptos do espiritismo passou de 2,3 milhões em 2000, para 3,8 milhões em 2010. Esse grupo possui as maiores proporções de pessoas com nível superior completo (31,5%) e taxa de alfabetização (98,6%), além das menores percentagens de indivíduos sem instrução (1,8%) e com ensino fundamental incompleto (15,0%) (IBGE, 2010). Esses dados são importantes para analisarmos o perfil das pessoas que frequentam os centros espíritas no Brasil e que tipo de público uma biblioteca, inserida nesses locais atende. Como mostra a pesquisa, o público que mais frequenta possui grau de instrução superior. Entende-se que é preciso levar em conta o perfil dos frequentadores, quando se pensar na organização, produtos e serviços de uma biblioteca espírita. Os serviços ao usuário devem ser funcionais. Entende-se funcional, no sentido de agilizar a busca do usuário na base de dados durante sua pesquisa. .

Ranganathan deixou suas cinco leis. Elas são diretas, sua mensagem é clara e muito objetiva: “livros são para usar, a cada leitor seu livro, a cada livro seu leitor, poupe o tempo do leitor e a Biblioteca é um organismo em crescimento”. Mas o que isso tem a ver com o mundo de hoje? Essas leis ainda continuam sendo aplicáveis no nosso contexto, na sociedade líquida que vivemos? Podemos pensar em outros modos de classificar nossos estoques de informações? Para que e para quem realmente classificamos nossas coleções? Elas de fato facilitam o acesso às coleções? Como fazer para que as bibliotecas sejam duráveis, perpassando o tempo, mas sem perder a condição de organismos dinâmicos que possam atender às demandas da complexa sociedade?Com a leitura desses textos, poderemos refletir sobras as respostas a estas perguntas e formular novos questionamentos. Também será possível conhecer um pouco mais sobre esse filósofo da Biblioteconomia e seu legado, que suscitou e suscita estudos e reflexões. Estudos esses, à luz de outras disciplinas, como o Marketing, que contribuem com o “core” da nossa Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação e por que não dizer, podem auxiliar outras áreas irmãs como a Museologia e Arquivologia.As organizadoras deste livro oferecem ao leitor um prazeroso, e diria irrecusável, convite para os bibliotecários brasileiros, pois a obra de Ranganathan, sobretudo as cinco leis, ecoam ou deveriam ecoar como mantras em nossos ouvidos; elas nos inquietam e nos colocam em permanente estado de questionamento. E aí temos que partir para a ação!...

They are direct, your message is clear and straightforward: "books are to use every reader his book, every book its reader, save the reader time and the library is a growing organism." But what does this have to do with the world today? These laws still remain relevant in our context, the net society we live in? We can think of other ways of classifying our inventory information? For that and for those who really classify our collections? They actually facilitate access to collections? How to make the libraries are durable, passing the time, but without losing the condition of dynamic organizations that can meet the demands of complex society? By reading these texts, we might reflect remains the answers to these questions and formulate new questions. You can also learn more about this philosopher of librarianship and his legacy, which has raised and raises studies and reflections. Study these in the light of other disciplines, such as Marketing, contributing to the "core" of our Library and Information Science, and why not say, can help other areas sisters as Museology and Arquivologia.As organizers of this book offer the reader a pleasant and would not refuse invitation for Brazilian librarians because the work of Ranganathan, especially the five laws, or should echo echo as mantras in our ears; they disturb us and put us in a permanent state of questioning. And then we have to go into action!...

Y entonces tenemos que entrar en acción!...

El proceso de descripción archivística en el Archivo de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de La Habana / Archival description at the Medical Sciences University Archive in Havana

El propósito del presente artículo es exponer el proceso de descripción archivística para describir los fondos del Archivo Universitario de Ciencias Médicas de La Habana. Para esto se vincularon y se relacionaron las normas de descripción archivística: ISAD (G), ISDIAH, ISAAR (CPF) e ISDF. Se realizó el análisis documental para la recopilación bibliográfica de las principales categorías, mensajes y elementos conceptuales centrales que sustentan el estudio, lo que permitió un acercamiento a las categorías de análisis desde la perspectiva de entidades reconocidas en el campo de la descripción archivística y la consulta directa de las normas de descripción. Se obtuvo como resultado la descripción de forma gráfica de las relaciones entre los objetos de descripción de las normas estudiadas y se integraron en una propuesta de proceso de descripción basado en las relaciones entre el objeto de descripción de cada una de ellas, para su implementación en el archivo universitario. Se ratifica que la descripción archivística está enfocada a la descripción del documento y su contexto de creación, uso, mantenimiento y acceso. El proceso de descripción que se propone integra las cuatro normas: ISAD (G), ISDF, ISDIAH e ISAAR (CPF), las cuales tienen objetos de descripción relacionados con el contexto de los documentos de archivo(AU)

The paper presents the process of archival description of the funds stored at the Medical Sciences University Archive in Havana. The following archival description standards were applied: ISAD (G), ISDIAH, ISAAR (CPF) and ISDF. Document analysis was performed to collect the main categories, messages and concepts serving as foundation for the study, approaching the categories from the perspective of entities recognized in the field of archival description, as well as direct consultation of description standards. A graphic description was obtained of the relationships between the objects described in the standards studied, which were integrated into a proposal for the process of description based on the links between the objects being described in each of them, with a view to their implementation in the university archive. It was confirmed that archival description is aimed at describing the document and the context of its creation, its use, maintenance and access. The description process proposed integrates the four standards: ISAD (G), ISDF, ISDIAH and ISAAR (CPF), whose description objects are related to the context of archival documents(AU)

jsPsych: a JavaScript library for creating behavioral experiments in a Web browser.

Online experiments are growing in popularity, and the increasing sophistication of Web technology has made it possible to run complex behavioral experiments online using only a Web browser. Unlike with offline laboratory experiments, however, few tools exist to aid in the development of browser-based experiments. This makes the process of creating an experiment slow and challenging, particularly for researchers who lack a Web development background. This article introduces jsPsych, a JavaScript library for the development of Web-based experiments. jsPsych formalizes a way of describing experiments that is much simpler than writing the entire experiment from scratch. jsPsych then executes these descriptions automatically, handling the flow from one task to another. The jsPsych library is open-source and designed to be expanded by the research community. The project is available online at www.jspsych.org .
