InSight Initiative Summit 3: Detailed Program

Bridge Building: What Bridges to Build and How

The third InSight Summit will provide a forum where librarians, publishers, and aggregators collaborate and brainstorm concrete measures to address frustration, challenges, and opportunities in providing services to the full range of health sciences library users. The summit format is built around panel discussions—one each for information providers, librarians, and users—followed by focused small-group activities aimed at discovering actionable approaches to more effective deployment of information resources.

Anticipated outcomes

This summit aims to produce specific plans that can be adopted by publishers, aggregators, and librarians designed to better position the library at the core of student, clinician, and researcher workflows. These plans will emerge from intense small-group discussions and real-time synthesis during the summit. Also, two to three initiatives will be chosen for further development by volunteer work groups who will collaborate on specific tangible outcome initiatives following this summit.

Learning objectives

• Develop an enhanced understanding of frustrations, challenges, and opportunities in providing services to health sciences library users on the part of senior representatives of publishers and aggregators
• Develop an enhanced understanding of frustrations, challenges, and opportunities in providing services to health sciences library users on the part of senior librarians
• Develop an enhanced understanding of library user frustrations and challenges as well as their perception of opportunities for libraries to better serve their needs
• Devise a work plan template for developing tangible outcomes related to identified and prioritized actionable initiatives
