[Rdap] New issue of JeSLIB out! Theme is Informationists in Research

[Kafel, Donna]

**Please excuse cross-postings!**

Dear Colleagues,

The latest issue of the Journal of eScience Librarianship (JeSLIB)<http://escholarship.umassmed.edu/jeslib/> is now out! This issue focuses on the role of the Informationist or Embedded Librarian in the scientific research process. This theme comes from the Professional Development Day conference, Embedded with the Scientists:  Librarians' Roles in the Research Process<http://libraryguides.umassmed.edu/Informationists>, that was hosted by the Lamar Soutter Library, UMass Medical School, in conjunction with NN/LM New England (National Network of  Libraries of Medicine New England) on Nov. 7, 2012.

Featured in this issue are articles by health science librarians who are working as informationists in NLM Administrative Supplements for Informationist Services in NIH-funded Research Projects<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-12-158.html> , and Chris Shaffer's (University Librarian and Associate Professor at Oregon Health and Science University) keynote address, The Role of the Library in the Research Enterprise<http://escholarship.umassmed.edu/jeslib/vol2/iss1/4/>.

Also, starting with this latest issue, JeSLIB is experimenting with data from Altmetric<http://www.altmetric.com/> to display article level metrics for each of our articles. The Altmetric score is a measure of the attention an article has received online, including social media mentions, news coverage, and online reference manager counts. Contact JESLIB's editors<http://escholarship.umassmed.edu/jeslib/contact.html> and let us know what you think about Altmetric!
