Promoting Health Data Fluency Skills by Expanding Data and Informatics Work in Libraries: The Role of a Health Library Informaticist.

Health sciences libraries offer core resources and services to expand the knowledge and efficiencies of their communities.

To meet such needs, libraries are increasingly creating roles to educate and collaborate on topics related to health informatics and health data.
