\nDescription:<\/strong>\u00a0More data are being generated than ever before. Data are fast becoming the backbone for research and scientific breakthroughs. Finding ways to leverage the use of data across disciplines and programs through open data initiatives that promote the reuse of data for a variety of research goals is an important step toward the discovery of new innovations. HealthData.gov and other projects are making open data trends more commonplace in health sciences research. Health sciences librarians play an important role in organizing and curating data. Librarians also play a vital role in promoting open data initiatives and projects. This session will focus on the roles that librarians play in open data initiatives at their respective institutions.<\/p>\n\n
