Development of the research lifecycle model for library services.

Question: Can the niche services of individual librarians across multiple libraries be developed into a suite of standard services available to all scientists that support the entire research lifecycle?

Setting: Services at a large, research-intensive state university campus are described.

Method: Initial data were collected via concept mapping by librarians. Additional data were collected at conferences and meetings through interactive poster presentations.

A preliminary analysis of library holdings as compared to the basic resources for pharmacy education list.

The catalogs of 11 university libraries were analyzed against the Basic Resources for Pharmaceutical Education (BRPE) to measure the percent coverage of the core total list as well as the core sublist. There is no clear trend in this data to link school age, size, or rank with percentage of coverage of the total list or the "First Purchase" core list when treated as independent variables. Approximately half of the schools have significantly higher percentages of core titles than statistically expected.
