NICHSR Introduction to HSR: Class Manual

Welcome and Introduction

Welcome to the National Library of Medicine's course on Health Services Research (HSR). This course is designed to provide health sciences librarians with a greater appreciation of the issues and methodologies of health services research in order to support and partner health services researchers. This field of research cuts across multiple disciplines and relies heavily on the published literature. It requires quality filtering skills and the organization and analysis of large sets of data. Librarians are well qualified to select and manage volumes of information. Gaining new skills in analyzing data, interpreting the literature, and disseminating the research results will expand our opportunities in this growing field of work.
