English abstract

The recent publication of the human genome together with current research activities represent a huge and growing source of information which is voluminous, complex in structure, dispersed throughout different formats, and generally available over the internet. Access to information about the human genome will represent a habitual and routine practice for health professionals. This is why we suggest a new task for information professionals working in biomedical libraries: to facilitate information in this new domain. To make this possible, the Institute of Health ‘Carlos III’ through two of its units (The Medical Bioinformatics Department and the National Library of Health Sciences) proposed the BIB-GEN project. It consists of a number of activities that focus on education and specialised support for information professionals in this area.

Spanish abstract

La reciente publicación del genoma humano y las investigaciones que se llevarán a cabo a partir de ahora van a suponer una fuente creciente de información, voluminosa y compleja en su estructura, dispersa en diversos formatos, en su mayoría accesibles a través de internet. El uso de información sobre el genoma humano va a constituir una práctica habitual de los profesionales de la salud. Por ello, proponemos que se incorpore una nueva función entre los documentalistas que trabajan en las bibliotecas de centros biomédicos, consistente en facilitar información en este nuevo ámbito. Para hacer esto posible, el Instituto de Salud Carlos III, a través de dos de sus unidades (la Biblioteca Nacional de Ciencias de la Salud y el Área de Bioinformática), se plantea el proyecto BIB-GEN, que comprende una serie de actividades que conducen a la formación y el soporte especializado a los documentalistas y bibliotecarios en estas materias.
