The latest issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) (Volume 112 Number 3, 2024) includes
- Exploring librarians’ practices when teaching advanced searching for knowledge synthesis: results from an online survey by Glyneva Bradley-Ridout, Robin Parker , Lindsey Sikora , Andrea Quaiattini, Kaitlin Fuller , Margaret Nevison, Erica Nekolaichuk
- Effect of librarian collaboration on otolaryngology systematic review and meta-analysis quality by Rachel Whitney, AHIP, Michael C. Shih, Tamar Gordis, Shaun A. Nguyen, Ted A. Meyer, Emily A. Brennan
Go to https://jmla.pitt.edu/ojs/jmla/issue/view/34 for these, and for articles marking 125 years of the US MLA and also on other medical library topics

I was reminded that I should be scanning JMLA more often through the announcement of the winner of the JMLA Biannual Research Article Award:
- Kahili-Heede, M. K., Patil, U., Hillgren, K. J., Hishinuma, E., & Kasuya, R. (2022).Library instruction and Wikipedia: investigating students’ perceived informationliteracy, lifelong learning, and social responsibility through Wikipedia editing. Journal of the Medical Library Association: JMLA, 110(2), 174–184. https://doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2022.1291
"This article presents a multiyear pilot study delineating practical challenges, solutions, and lessons learned from Wikipedia editing experiences with first-year medical students at the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawai’i at M ̄anoa."
