<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Dear Colleagues, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The latest issue of the <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><a href="http://escholarship.umassmed.edu/jeslib/" title="Journal of eScience Librarianship">Journal of eScience Librarianship (JeSLIB)</a></span></em>
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,
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><a href="http://libraryguides.umassmed.edu/Informationists" title="Embedded with the Scientists">Embedded with the Scientists: Librarians' Roles in the Research Process</a></span></em>, 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Featured in this issue are articles by health science librarians who are working as informationists in
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-12-158.html" title="NLM Administrative Supplement">
NLM Administrative Supplements for Informationist Services in NIH-funded Research Projects</a> , and Chris Shaffer's (University Librarian and Associate Professor at Oregon Health and Science University) keynote address,
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><a href="http://escholarship.umassmed.edu/jeslib/vol2/iss1/4/" title="The Role of the Library in the Research Enterprise">The Role of the Library in the Research Enterprise</a>.</span></em><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Also, starting with this latest issue, JeSLIB is experimenting with data from <a href="http://www.altmetric.com/">Altmetric</a> 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. <a href="http://escholarship.umassmed.edu/jeslib/contact.html">Contact JESLIB’s editors</a> and let us know what
you think about Altmetric!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
