New England Science Boot Camp for Librarians

The New England Science Boot Camp for Librarians (NESBC) is a two and a half day annual conference for librarians, library workers, and library students to keep the science librarianship community informed of current trends in scientific and health-related research and provide immersive learning and networking opportunities. Specialized skills are required for librarians and library workers who support researchers and departmental faculty in areas of health and general sciences. NESBC equips librarians with the knowledge that they need to enhance their professional skills, including evaluating the quality of research articles, journals, and datasets and maintaining up-to-date knowledge regarding new technology and resources. In addition to the conference, NESBC conference materials, including session recordings, resources, and slide decks, are made available on the publicly accessible NESBC website as an open education resource to enable self-directed improvement.
