Abstract

SETTING: In summer 2002, the Health Sciences Library System (HSLS) at the University of Pittsburgh initiated an information service in molecular biology and genetics to assist researchers with identifying and utilizing bioinformatics tools. PROGRAM COMPONENTS: This novel information service comprises hands-on training workshops and consultation on the use of bioinformatics tools. The HSLS also provides an electronic portal and networked access to public and commercial molecular biology databases and software packages. EVALUATION MECHANISMS: Researcher feedback gathered during the first three years of workshops and individual consultation indicate that the information service is meeting user needs. NEXT STEPS/FUTURE DIRECTIONS: The service's workshop offerings will expand to include emerging bioinformatics topics. A frequently asked questions database is also being developed to reuse advice on complex bioinformatics questions.
