简介：学术健康图书馆员越来越多地作为研究团队的成员参与进行系统评价。有时，图书馆员是最终出版物的共同作者，有时他们会得到认可，有时他们不会得到认可。本研究旨在询问图书馆员主管对加拿大学术健康图书馆员参与系统审查的程度以及他们的工作得到认可的方式的理解。方法：向加拿大所有 17 个学术健康科学图书馆的馆员主管发送了一项询问 21 个问题的调查，询问图书馆员参与系统评价研究项目的程度和性质以及他们收到的致谢形式。结果：收到 14 份调查回复。结果表明，人们强烈期望图书馆员参与并将参与系统评价研究项目。与主管对所进行的评审数量、所需时间、收到的确认形式以及系统评审检索的专业价值的看法相关的结果差异很大。讨论：学术健康图书馆员的主管在图书馆员参与系统评价项目的大多数方面以及这项工作得到承认和应该得到承认的方式方面缺乏共识，这表明有必要对此主题进行研究。
Introduction: Academic health librarians are increasingly involved as members of research teams that conduct systematic reviews. Sometimes librarians are co-authors on the resulting publications, sometimes they are acknowledged, and sometimes they receive no recognition. This study was designed to query librarian supervisors' understanding of the extent to which Canadian academic health librarians are involved in systematic reviews and the manner in which their work is recognized. Methods: A survey asking 21 questions was sent to supervisors of librarians at all 17 academic health sciences libraries in Canada, querying the extent and nature of librarians' involvement in systematic review research projects and the forms of acknowledgement that they receive. Results: Fourteen responses to the survey were received. Results show strong expectations that librarians are involved, and will be involved, in systematic review research projects. Results related to supervisors' perceptions of the number of reviews undertaken, the amount of time required, the forms of acknowledgement received, and the professional value of systematic review searching varied greatly. Discussion: The lack of consensus among academic health librarians' supervisors regarding most aspects of librarians' involvement in systematic review projects, and the ways in which this work is and should be acknowledged, points to the need for research on this subject.
