Setting: A satellite location of an academic health sciences library that spearheads information services for an interdisciplinary, cross-sector research complex provides a case study.
Methods: The health sciences library established a library space at a new research complex that combines the services and expertise of a bioinformationist, translational research librarian, and public/private partnership librarian. The focus is on integrated information services, and the librarians serve as a boundary-spanning unit within the research complex.
Results: The colocation of the library with research cores and other units at the research complex has led to the creation of new partnerships and deepened existing ones.
Conclusion: Meeting the information needs of a diverse population requires a multifaceted approach to providing information services, and librarians must proactively seek out opportunities to establish meaningful collaborations.
