Abstract

As science and technology libraries continue to evolve, specialized research support services are developed and offered at academic institutions or research organizations. Making sense of this changing landscape and determining the best programs for an institution can be a daunting task, especially for early-career librarians. This article aims to provide an overview of various small to medium size non-traditional or specialized research support services in academic and special libraries serving Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. A systematic search of five databases was conducted for articles that described the development and implementation of research support services. Non-traditional or specialized research support services identified in this scoping review fall in the following areas: bibliometrics/altmetrics, data management services, geographic information systems, patents, and systematic reviews. The paper provides a detailed foundation for novice and experienced STEM librarians to offer innovative library services or enhance existing research support services.

STEM图书馆的研究支持服务:范围审查

随着科技图书馆的不断发展，专门的研究支持服务在学术机构或研究组织中得到发展和提供。理解这种不断变化的环境并为一个机构确定最好的项目可能是一项艰巨的任务，尤其是对刚入职不久的图书馆员来说。本文旨在概述为科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科服务的学术和专业图书馆的各种中小型非传统或专业研究支持服务。系统地检索了五个数据库，查找描述研究支助服务的发展和实施的文章。非传统或专门的研究支持服务在此范围综述中被确定在以下领域:文献计量学/替代计量学、数据管理服务、地理信息系统、专利和系统综述。本文为新手和有经验的STEM图书馆员提供创新的图书馆服务或加强现有的研究支持服务提供了详细的基础。
