Abstract

Due to the growth of incoming class sizes, Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library decided to integrate technical services librarians into the PCL (Problem-Centered Learning) program. The librarians requested support to help them answer students' research questions and provide informatics instructions. This poster presentation identifies the problem areas for those librarians and provides several solutions for skill-building in the area of medical informatics.
