HSLS Demonstrates Responsible Literature Searching for Research

HSLS librarians demonstrated their self-paced interactive Research & Practice Fundamentals (RPF), Responsible Literature Searching for Research, during the Annual Meeting of the Society of Research Administrators International held in Pittsburgh, October 18-19, 2003. The Office of Research Integrity (ORI), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services invited HSLS to demonstrate the program at the Meeting during the Responsible Conduct in Research Exposition.

HSLS developed Responsible Literature Searching for Research with the sponsorship of the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries, funded through a cooperative agreement between the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Office of Research Integrity, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Over 50 attendees, including professional staff from ORI’s Division of Education and Integrity, examined the draft content and provided positive feedback and opinions about the need for this type of program.
