Abstract

Given the importance of bioinformatics in the health sciences and the increasing role information professionals are playing in informatics and data management, it is logical to develop collaborations between libraries and bioinformatics communities. Given these trends, academic libraries are providing new data services in support of research and teaching. Librarians at University of Michigan and Yale University have found different ways to engage with their respective bioinformatics communities and build successful partnerships around instruction, data analysis, software licensing, project management, seminar programming, and tool documentation. This chapter discusses the librarians' involvement, the advantages to the library and the bioinformatics communities, and the challenges faced.
