Welcome to the fourth installment of the series, " Building the Library of the Future",  from Library Director Gretchen Arnold. This series provides information about the Library's work, with each installment focusing on a different aspect of that work. The last installment described the Library's work with research; this week's installment focuses on its collaborations and partnerships. Future installments will focus on patient care, and also discuss the Library's space improvements, and metrics. Please find Part 1 here, and Part 2 here.




 

“Libraries have a central role to play in the new data to knowledge society.  Seems to me in my brief time at UVA that our Health Sciences Library is on top of contributing in a way of great benefit to our community. I look forward to continuing our great collaborative start.” 

Philip E. Bourne, PhD, FACMI,
Stephenson Chair of Data Science,
Director of the Data Science Institute,
Professor of Biomedical Engineering

The Library values its role as a collaborator and partner.  We know that pooling resources and expertise with others increases opportunity and success.  Libraries in general understand process and standardization.  We have experience with information systems, from early catalogues and databases, to the Internet.  We also understand the role of disruptive innovation, and the inevitability of changing business models.  Further, the Library also understands the cycle of development, where these systems will (or should) ultimately be, and how this will impact the Health System.

We have a long-standing and successful partnership with Public Health Sciences that has continue to expand because of increasing demand.  Daily “office hours” offered by PHS staff in the Library have provided valuable assistance in research design and statistical support.

Our work with the UVA Data Science Institute and CADRE (Computation and Data Resource Exchange) continues to be mutually beneficial.  Being knowledgeable about what these groups offer in the way of data and high performance computing resources provides the Library with the ability to communicate this to our users. 

Library staff have also worked with the Office of the Vice President for Research on a number of initiatives that aim to improve UVA’s data, and systems that support research. 

The HSL provides expertise in the rapidly evolving landscape of research intelligence and informatics, has helped UVA select and license funding discovery tools, and has played an important role in helping UVA better understand its complex research ecosystem.  We looked forward to continuing this valued partnership.” 

Jeffrey J. Fox, PhD, Director, Research Development.
