RESEARCH SECTION NEWS Erin D. Foster Hypothesis, vol. 29, no. 1, Spring/Summer 2017 20 MLA 2017 Debrief The Librarian’s Role in Reproducibility of Research Symposium Held Saturday, May 27th from 1-5pm This symposium aimed to educate attendees about the important roles for librarians and information professionals at their home institutions to raise awareness about and support research reproducibility. Attendees learned more about reproducibility from keynote speaker Shona Kirtley, Senior Research Information Specialist for the EQUATOR Network at the Centre for Statistics in Medicine, University of Oxford, as well as a panel of librarians and information professionals who are involved in enhancing reproducibility. At the conclusion of the event, attendees better understood the basics of reproducibility, were empowered to create strategies for how they might find partners, and get involved in reproducibility of research at their individual institutions. More information – including speaker slides, handouts, and additional resources - can be found on the symposium website: http://mlasymposium.libguides.com/2017 #meddatalibs Special Content Session Held Sunday, May 28th from 3-4:25pm The Research Section (RS) and the Medical Informatics Section (MIS) co-hosted a book group discussion on the new MLA publication: The Medical Library Association Guide to Data Management for Librarians, edited by Lisa M.
