Health libraries / librarians are now mentioned several times in NHMRC Good Institutional Practice Guide : A guide for promoting an institutional research culture that supports the conduct of high-quality research (2025).
This was due to an ALIA HLA submission to the NHMRC in 2024 and will significantly increase the profile of health librarians in biomedical research
Some of the statements include:
“Appoint qualified librarians to advise and support researchers across a range of topics including the scholarly information life cycle, research metrics, open science practices and data management” – p16
” Provide infrastructure for supporting responsible research practices, such as appropriate library services to provide access to a curated collection of information resources and evidence based information collections” – p27
“How does the institution ensure that all researchers have access to support services as needed (for example, statistical advice, library services)” – p29
