    Mobilizing health equity through Computable Biomedical Knowledge (CBK): a call to action to the library, information sciences, and health informatics communities
    (Pitt Open Library, 2024) Allee, Nancy J.; Perry, Gerald; Rios, Gabriel R.; Rubin, Joshua C.; Subbian, Vignesh; Swain, Deborah E.; Wheeler, Terrie R.; Ruth Lilly Medical Library, School of Medicine
    The twin pandemics of COVID-19 and structural racism brought into focus health disparities and disproportionate impacts of disease on communities of color. Health equity has subsequently emerged as a priority. Recognizing that the future of health care will be informed by advanced information technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and algorithmic applications, the authors argue that to advance towards states of improved health equity, health information professionals need to engage in and encourage the conduct of research at the intersections of health equity, health disparities, and computational biomedical knowledge (CBK) applications. Recommendations are provided with a means to engage in this mobilization effort.

    The role of information science within the clinical translational science ecosystem
    (Cambridge University Press, 2024-11-27) Ragon, Bart; Seymour, Anne; Whipple, Elizabeth C.; Surkis, Alisa; Haberstroh, Amanda; Muilenburg, Jennifer; Rethlefsen, Melissa L.; Aspinall, Erinn E.; Deaver, Jill; Dexter, Nadine; Barger, Renae; Contaxis, Nicole; Glenn, Emily J.; Hinton, Elizabeth; Kern, Barbara; Little, Micquel; Pickett, Keith; Sevetson, Erika; Tao, Donghua; von Isenburg, Megan; Werner, Debra A.; Wheeler, Terrie R.; Holmes, Kristi; Ruth Lilly Medical Library, School of Medicine
    Academic health sciences libraries ("libraries") offer services that span the entire research lifecycle, positioning them as natural partners in advancing clinical and translational science. Many libraries enjoy active and productive collaborations with Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hubs and other translational initiatives like the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research Network. This article explores areas of potential partnership between libraries and Translational Science Hubs (TSH), highlighting areas where libraries can support the CTSA Program's five functional areas outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. It serves as a primer for TSH and libraries to explore potential collaborations, demonstrating how libraries can connect researchers to services and resources that support the information needs of TSH.
