Beskrivning

Service on Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) is an uncommon activity for librarians. Even librarians who participate in institutional research activities in a supportive capacity or conduct their own original research as scholars themselves and are familiar with the IRB/IACUC research approval process, they may hesitate to participate more fully with these boards. There may be a perception that the work of the IRB and IACUC is too scientifically complex for librarians without an appropriate background. Library administrators may not advocate for librarian inclusion on the board for fear of additional burdens on the librarian’s time; and university administrators might need some convincing of the librarian’s suitability to perform this work. This book provides librarians with foundational knowledge of the IRB and IACUC, describes the work of these important committees, and expands librarians’ conceptualization and knowledge of opportunities to create services and partnerships through participation.The book provides a progressively more comprehensive understanding of the work of these committees. Parts I and II discuss IRB and IACUC, respectively; their history, functions and membership. Part III highlights expanding roles for librarians on IRB and IACUC; and in institutional research activities. A special feature of this section describes the experiences of librarians, in their own words, who work with IRB or IACUC; what they have learned, how they have used their experiences to create partnerships and market library services; and what role they see for libraries and librarians in institutional research.

Recensioner i media

Academic librarians have vital research skills but could be more involved in institutional research board (IRB) work. This book provides useful background information and practices, focusing on health and medical domains, including animal research. The editors are academic librarians and active in their field. Twenty-four additional librarians, mainly academic and special librarians focused on medicine, contributed book chapters. The book is organized into three parts: institutional review boards (their roles, their protection of research participants, and librarian aspects over time); librarian roles in institutional animal care and use committees (IACUC); and creating and expanding opportunities for libraries and librarians in institutional research.... The book concludes with IRB and IACUC resources and an index, and overall reflects professional experience and provides practical advice in clear language.
