Creating and Updating a Faculty Publications List

A faculty publications list is an asset that highlights an institution’s productivity. Our library has progressed from assisting with the annual production of a print volume, to creating an online bibliography for each year, to using free tools to populate individual profiles and provide monthly updates. This has been in response to changes both in how people consume information and in our understanding of how this asset can be leveraged. As a nonprofit that relies on grants and philanthropy, our audience includes both those inside and outside of academic medicine. I’ll briefly cover why and how we provide this service.
