  9. "There will be increasing reasons for each of us to have our complete genomes determined and placed in medical files," Collins noted. "Five years after that, there will be compelling enough evidence that this is good medicine for both prevention and treatment that third parties will cover the cost," Collins said. "Health-care providers will have immediate access to [this information] about you, about what decisions to recommend. It's not one-size-fits-all, but really just about you.” "When I was in training, genetics was a small insignificant subspecialty of pediatrics," Marion noted. "And now pediatrics is a small insignificant subspecialty of genetics." Human Genome Turns 10 F. Collins, R. Marion, J.P. Evans, April 1, 2010, Nature

  11. Roles for HS Libraries/Librarians? With current skill sets • Metadata consulting • Develop data management plans With additional/advanced skill sets • Data design, organization, management • Data analysis, synthesis, meta-analysis • Data repurposing • …

  12. How do we go forward? • It’s a tough time to innovate and expand • Most of us won’t be doing this • iSchools aren’t responding adequately • Exceptions: UIUC, UNC • Need to draw from other professions/training • Biostatistics, research methods, informatics • Need to forge new, expanded partnerships

  13. Onward. Thank you.
