Science boot camps provide librarians with the opportunity to network with peers and learn about topics in the sciences and technology. There are five boot camps held throughout the year in various locations in the US and Canada.
The True North Science Boot Camp (TNSBC) is an annual professional development event for librarians who support research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). TNSBC activities span three days and feature educational presentations delivered by scientists and STEM librarians. The event provides opportunities for librarians to learn more about science and the research process, discuss best practices, and share ideas and experiences in an intimate, informal atmosphere.
In 2024, TNSBC is immediately followed by the Canadian Health Libraries' Association's (Association des bibliothèques de la santé du Canada's) Annual Conference, also hosted in Winnipeg from June 12-14, 2024. There will be a joint reception at the closing of TNSBC and the opening of CHLA/ABSC 2024 in the evening of Tuesday, June 11.
