An extensible and successful method of identifying collaborators for National Library of Medicine informationist projects.

QUESTION/PURPOSE: The New York University (NYU) Health Sciences Library used a new method to arrange in-depth discussions with basic science researchers. The objective was to identify collaborators for a new National Library of Medicine administrative supplement.

SETTING: The research took place at the NYU Health Sciences Library.

METHODS: Using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) RePORTER, forty-four researchers were identified and later contacted through individualized emails.

RESULTS: Nine researchers responded to the email followed by six in-person or phone discussions. At the conclusion of this process, two researchers submitted applications for supplemental funding, and both of these applications were successful.

CONCLUSIONS: This method confirmed these users could benefit from the skills and knowledge of health sciences librarians, but they are largely unaware of this.
