Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice Coffee Talk: Service Models
Date: November 26, 2026
Time: 2:00pm – 3:00pm ET
Join the Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice for an informal Coffee Talk on the different ways CoP members provide bibliometric and research impact services to their communities. We hope to have an active discussion on the types of service models that exist, the constraints to current service models, and advice on how to revise service to balance the needs of users with capacity constraints.
Thane Chambers, Head of Research Impact Services at the University of Alberta Library, will provide a brief description of how she and her team developed their service model and how it has had to evolve over time. This will be followed by a drop in conversations where members can grab a coffee, connect with colleagues, and compare notes on shared questions and emerging practices.
Thane Chambers worked as a health sciences librarian from 2007 to 2018. She literally was thrown into the deep end of bibliometrics and research impact in 2012 and had to learn how to swim quickly. Luckily, she has had access to many different types of floatation devices over the years and is still somehow able to tread water.
This session will not be recorded. Live captions will be available in English and French. Learn more about the Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice.
