T3: Mapping Innovations that Matter

T3: Mapping Innovations that Matter
K.T.L. Vaughan, MSLS
Librarian for Bioinformatics & Pharmacy, UNC-Chapel Hill Health Sciences Library
The Health Sciences
Library recognizes both the
supportive and leadership
role technology plays in
our delivery of services
and daily operations.
We believe an important
element in technology
integration and leadership
is early detection and close
monitoring of innovation
and changing technology
trends.
The Technology Think Tank
(T3) is a learning committee
responsible for monitoring
the development of new
information technologies in
a context of its impact on
Health Sciences Library
programs and services.
