I have worked at a Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) institution for over 5 years and I am very glad to have a resource such as this. While there are other resources that collectively could provide some of the same type of information, what I found to be the most useful is the compilation that allowed me to explore the many facets of the clinical translational science world through the lens of accomplished librarians who are leading the way in this field. Real-world examples that relate to many of the CTSA Key Function Groups are carefully detailed offering unique perspectives on many complex problems. This work has helped me to personally clarify the things that our library is already doing to support our institutional CTSA and more importantly identify the next steps that we can reasonably take to expand on what we already do well and to look outside of our institution for the additional opportunities that exist for collaboration. I plan to share it with my department as we plan for future service and program development
