Offered: Saturday, May 14, 1:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

Traditionally, medical libraries have provided information resources and technology to support educational, research, and patient care objectives. The complexity of translational science research and its multidisciplinary approach offer prime opportunities for many different types of libraries to create visionary library-based translational science programs. This class will provide medical libraries with an initial foundation to develop and/or supplement translational science programs for their institutions. Topics to be discussed include an introduction to the concept of translational science and Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs), discussion of stakeholders for advancing translational science efforts, strategies for initiating collaborations with stakeholders, and a review of possible services and resources that can be implemented to establish a library-based translational science support program.
