|
||
|
||
<p>Librarians in the United States who specialize in health and related sciences are invited to participate in the next offering of the bioinformatics training course, "A Librarian’s Guide to NCBI," sponsored by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, NLM Training Center (NTC).
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The course provides knowledge and skills for librarians interested in helping patrons use online molecular databases and tools from the NCBI. Prior knowledge of molecular biology and genetics is not required. Participating in the Librarian's Guide course will improve your ability to initiate or extend bioinformatics services at your institution.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Instructors will be NCBI staff and Diane Rein, Ph.D., MLS, Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology Liaison from the Health Science Library, University at Buffalo.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Online Pre-Course and In-Person Course Components</strong>
|
||
<br />
|
||
The two parts to "A Librarian’s Guide to NCBI" are listed below. Applicants must complete both parts. Participants must complete the pre-course with full CE credit (Part 1) in order to advance to attend the 5-day in-person course (Part 2).
|
||
<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Part 1: "Fundamentals in Bioinformatics and Searching," an online (asynchronous) course,
|
||
<strong>October 26-December 11, 2015</strong>.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>The major goal of Part 1 is to provide an introduction to bioinformatics theory and practice in support of developing and implementing library-based bioinformatics products and services. This material is essential for decision-making and implementation of these programs, particularly instructional and reference services. The course encompasses visualizing bioinformatics end-user practice. It places a strong emphasis on hands-on acquisition of NCBI search competencies, and developing a working molecular biology vocabulary through self-paced hands-on exercises.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Other option: Interested in taking only the online version of the "Fundamentals in Bioinformatics and Searching" course? Watch for an upcoming second announcement of an offering in January-February 2016.
|
||
<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Part 2: A 5-day in-person course offered on-site at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland, <strong>March 7-11, 2016</strong>.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>The focus of the in-person course is on using the BLAST sequence similarity search and Entrez text search systems to find relevant molecular data. The course describes the various kinds of molecular data available and explain how these are generated and used in modern biomedical research. The course is a combination of instruction, demonstration, discussions, and hands-on exercises (both individual and group).
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
