hypothesis: A Pathfinder
This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called hypothesis.
Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:
Library; Health; Data; Information; Students; Survey; Section; Librarian; Peer; Evidence; Article; Mla; Team; Systematic; Conference; Time; Members; Review; Manuscript; Search; Methods; Event; Citation; Caucus; Column; Protocol; Control; Editor; Interest; Bmla; Ahip; Asian; Volunteer; Events; Ideas
Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.
Library
- Library renovation: From setbacks to success by Wells, Elaine (2021) - What we learned: It is easy for library staff to think of the library as our own space. I quickly discovered that those two skill sets did not intersect among library staff members and that removing heavy volumes is not for the faint of heart…or back. Keywords: hypothesis; journals; library; renovation; space; staff; students; study
- Introducing Hypothesis: Failure by Holmes, Heather N. (2021) - The loss of space, however, isn’t really being taken from the students but rather being redistributed throughout the building which houses other spaces besides the library. Renovation is one of the words that librarians love to hear and then immediately cringe at what it might actually mean. Keywords: library

(2021) - LITERATURE REVIEW Assessing patron satisfaction in libraries The inspiration for the needs assessment was a study conducted by the University of Central Florida (UCF), in which HappyOrNot machines were used alongside several other micro-assessments to elicit patron feedback regarding library services, events, resources, and policies [2]. To do so, HSCL piloted the use of two “HappyOrNot” customer satisfaction machines to conduct a DEI needs assessment, with the purpose of exploring the DEI-related issues facing library patrons.

- Gaining Ground: OER at 3 Health Sciences Institutions by Kirschner, Jessica; Monnin, Jenn; Andresen, Christine (2023) - The work is similarly an extension of both long-existing library services, such as instruction support, and emerging services, such as publishing support.11-13 Often in partnership with other university units, library OER initiatives educate about, advocate for, and support the adoption, adaptation, and creation of OER. In order to encourage OER usage, library resources and staff work to overcome this barrier, as well as other commonly articulated barriers to adoption, such as difficulty in locating appropriate resources or concerns about quality.14,16,17Libraries also often administer grant programs and/or provide access to platforms to enable the creation of resources.11 Research shows that these initiatives result in a higher adoption of OER resources.18 OER in health sciences Many case studies provide an overview of OER initiatives or analyze the impact of OER in academic courses (e.g., see the Open Education Group bibliography).19 However, few articles study OER specifically in the health sciences context.
