This session shares lessons learned by the NASA Goddard Library in offering a new bibliometrics program for researchers at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The library, which is under contract to the Cadence Group and Zimmerman Associates, Inc., has been recently renovated and reinvented, and awarded the 2016 FEDLINK Large Library of the Year. The bibliometrics program included training and research support, and required a significant amount of outreach and education; however, no additional staff was added to meet the demands of the new program. A customer’s small research project, creating comprehensive research portfolios for eight researchers, presented a prime opportunity to identify the scale and scope of offering bibliometrics as a library service. Get tips and insights from the piloting of a new library service focused on research assessment and learn how it might work in your environment.
