Putting it into practice:Applying new skills at the library
Lisa Federer, Research InformationistUCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library
Teaching in LS10H “Research Training in Genes, Genetics and Genomics” HHMI sponsored course Librarians have taught each quarter since 2006 90 minute literature searching workshop

Teaching in LS10H (pt.3)
“Students learn how to obtain necessary information on their assigned mutations and fly stocks from…NCBI databases. They perform BLAST searches in FlyBase to determine the exact insertion site of the P-element and the gene that is likely to be disrupted. Once they obtain the sequences of their genes, protein-protein BLAST searches are carried out in the NCBI database to look for significant homology to well-defined domains in the proteins. These exercises enhance the understanding of their own research projects as they learn the likely function of their assigned genes and begin to appreciate the powerful tools of bioinformatics.”

Teaching in LS10H (pt.2)
New instruction for Spring 2013 Quarter: Basic overview of NCBI databases Demo of Gene (basic and advanced searching)
and Homologene PubMed gene sensor Connecting the data with the literature – lateral
searching across databases
Making connections with researchers
Outreach to departments likely to find these tools useful
Contact researchers who are already submitting to NCBI databases
Review course catalog for relevant classes and offer sessions
Non-curriculum teaching
Build upon successful “Data Wednesdays” class series
Develop a series of brief workshops covering discrete aspects of NCBI tools
Possibly develop a longer (half-day), in-depth workshop
Create LibGuide on NCBI tools
Clinical teaching Teaching when relevant topics are presented at
internal medicine “morning report” Possible workshop(s) on clinical applications of
NCBI tools to be held as open sessions at hospital
