Reviews of Science for Science Librarians: Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) Jeong, Sarah; Kim, Seong-Tae Since the completion of the Human Genome Project and the International HapMap Project, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been undertaken to uncover associations between genetic variants and human diseases and traits. GWAS research is a step forward in biomedical research, and this article provides an overview of the history, study design, and significant achievements in the field. In addition, this article presents an annotated bibliography of reliable, core research resources including data repositories, research institutes, consortia, analytical tools, and bioethical issues related to GWAS, which can serve as a reference for librarians, graduate students, and scientific researchers who are interested in this research area.

Getting to Know You: HBCU-ASERL Librarian Exchange Sims, Iyanna; Sutton, Lynn In June 2006, two librarians from North Carolina participated in an exchange program sponsored by the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) and the Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU) Alliance. Iyanna Sims, Electronic Resources Librarian from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, spent two weeks on the campus of Wake Forest University in the Z. Smith Reynolds Library, at the invitation of Lynn Sutton, Director. The exchange experience is part of a comprehensive leadership initiative of the HBCU Alliance.

Library Service Perceptions: A Study of Two Universities Sutton, Lynn; Bazirjian, Rosann; Zerwas, Stephen Two academic libraries in North Carolina replicated the Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources global survey. This paper examines whether student responses in this survey are similar to the 2005 OCLC study and whether they are similar to each other. The authors examine potential reasons for similarities and differences, including student body profile, institutional differences in library services and demographic factors. The findings indicate that local factors dramatically affect the responses and should drive local service decisions rather than relying on global aggregate data.

The Embedded Academic Librarian Smith, Susan Sharpless; Sutton, Lynn As public service professionals, librarians constantly seek to provide better service to their clients. Key to providing optimum service is the ability to understand user needs and perspectives. Perhaps the ultimate in user understanding is the recent phenomenon of embedded librarianship, where librarians go native by living and working right alongside faculty and students in the campus environment, not just in a single visit, but for the duration of the course or learning experience.
