Notas do Editor
We are a unique institution; a stand-alone library that serves the research needs of a multitude of academic and clinical institutions within the Texas Medical Center.
Part of our Library’s mission is to collect, share and preserve biomedical information; part of the NN/LM-SCR’s mission was to educate medical librarians about eScience. As their RML, The TMC Library was well-positioned to host an event about eScience. Sharing costs with NN/LM-SCR, we were able to host four speakers and an audience of 48 people for a full day symposium.
Our Fantastic Lineup of Speakers--
CHALLENGES:-Four different Powerpoint presentations –how did we get them to dovetail so well? Phone conference and PPs view.-We had a small budget, part from TMC and part from NLM< but we were able to accomplish a lot – we even offered two student travel scholarships.-We don’t have computational software or hardware to analyze and store data, but we do have an institutional repository.-We don’t have enough staff for a dedicated eScience librarian, but one of our future goals will be to inquire with our Administration about future possibilities of putting aside the budget for one.
