Last Update 20 May 2013 Introduction See also Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians (CAPAL) | Information technology topics | Managing health libraries | Teaching library users Academic librarians' challenges in conducting research "...librarianship is an "information poor" information profession. Decisions are routinely not supported by the evidence of well-designed investigations. Research in the field is poorly communicated, understood, and applied. It is imperative that academic librarians and higher education libraries develop and carry out systematic research and development programs." — Neal, 2006 This research portal provides information among 150+ files for academic librarians who do research. Academic librarians deal with a number of challenges in conducting their research: a lack of protected time in their regular work schedules a lack of academic library support and research infrastructure most academic libraries are really sub-par in supporting librarian-led research academic librarians know how to ask good research questions and perform literature reviews but have little training in critical appraisal and research methods academic librarians feel ill-equipped to conduct research because it is discouraged in their workplace academic librarians are overburdened with daily tasks, and conducting research is not considered a priority research is not considered significant enough to advance their career/reputation academic librarians are trying to anticipate new trends in research such as altmetrics, data management, big data, text-mining & social network analysis that said, librarians may find the files below helpful in building some understanding of library and information-related research To see the Health Information and Libraries for Evaluation and Research (HEALER) wiki, go to http://researchflowchart.pbworks.com/w/page/6839792/Welcome-and-Acknowledgements ; to view the lifecycle of library research in academic libraries, see http://www.kcl.ac.uk/library/researchsupport/index.aspx.
