<p>Health science librarians in the United States are invited to participate in the next offering of the bioinformatics training course, &quot;A Librarians 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 />
There are two parts to "A Librarians Guide to NCBI," 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, <br /><strong>January 12-February 13, 2015</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The major goal of this part 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. <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 9-13, 2015.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The in-person course will focus on using the BLAST sequence similarity search and Entrez text search systems to find relevant molecular data. The course will describe the various kinds of molecular data available and explain how these are generated and used in modern biomedical research. The course will be a combination of instruction, demonstration, discussions, and hands-one exercises (both individual and group).<br /><br />
<strong>Who can apply?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Applications are open to health science librarians in the United States.<br /></li>
<li>Applicants will be accepted both from libraries currently providing bioinformatics services as well as from those desiring to implement services.<br /></li>
<li>Enrollment is limited 25 participants.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What does it cost?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There is no charge for the classes. Travel and lodging costs for the in-person class are at the expense of the participant.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Important Application Dates</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Application deadline: <strong>November 17, 2014</strong><br /></li>
<li>Acceptance notification: On or about <strong>December 15, 2014</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How to Apply</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Please fill out the Application Form at <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/guide_2015_app">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/guide_2015_app</a>. <br /></li>
<li>Once you complete the Application Form, you will be directed to download the Supervisor Support Statement (<a href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/education/librarian_guide/Forms/Supervisor_Supportv2.pdf">ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/education/librarian_guide/Forms/Supervisor_Supportv2.pdf</a>). This is to be filled out and signed by your immediate supervisor. This statement describes your current and/or future role in bioinformatics support at your institution and confirms your availability to attend the course if selected.<br /></li>
<li>Provide your current curriculum vitae (CV). Please use the suggested CV model as a guideline for the type of information desired (<a href="ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/education/librarian_guide/Forms/LibGuide_CV_model.pdf">ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/education/librarian_guide/Forms/LibGuide_CV_model.pdf</a>). <br /></li>
