65" interactive digital display used to visualize and demonstration data.

Python is an open-source, object-oriented programming language, particularly well-suited for scientific computing because of its extensive ecosystem of scientific libraries and environments.

R and R Studio are useful for a wide variety of data manipulation, analysis, and visualization tasks.

OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD models. It is free software and available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead on the CAD aspects.

Stata is an integrated statistical software package for data management, analysis, and visualization. 

Tableau is a business analytics tool for creating a wide variety of interactive data visualizations.

Use Netfabb Basic to make editing, repairing and analysing designs for 3D printing quick and easy. View, repair, and edit .STL files. Analyze and repair files to make models airtight. Make simple adjustments for proper fitting on build plate.

Average print times are 8-12 hours. Prints running more than 30 hrs are not recommended.

The highest resolution is .1mm. It takes significantly longer to print high resolution and Standard resolution is recommended for most jobs - .2mm.

The printer has one extruder, one color. We change the rolls of filament at the back to change colors. If you prefer a different color, we can change it, or if we don’t have the desired color, they can bring their own filament and we will put it on. 

There is no fee to print at the library if you work at NIH. However, you will need to provide your own filament (plastic). A roll of filament runs about $50 and you can produce 9-10 prints, depending on the size of the jobs.

Scientists are designing custom lab equipment and replacement parts. They are also printing proteins and viruses to better visualize what they are working with and for sharing with colleagues.

The 3D Printing Service is a self-service and first come first served.

As part of our Research Analytics services, the NIH Library’s Bibliometric Service provides publication analysis to NIH staff.

 Data-intensive science provides opportunities for discovery, but presents challenges as investigators struggle to manage data.

Orientations to the services of the NIH Library are available upon request for NIH staff.

The NIH Library has private study rooms for individual use. The rooms cannot be reserved. NIH staff can use them on a first-come, first-served basis. These study rooms are unlocked and valuables should not be left unattended. The rooms have a desk, door, and WiFi. 

As noted on the NIH public access website, your peer-reviewed papers should be submitted to PubMed Central (PMC) immediately upon acceptance for publication by a journal. PMC will make these papers publicly available within 12 months of publication.

Use LocatorPlus Catalog, the catalog for the National Library of Medicine's collection, to find books and journals there. Follow the prompts that appear.

A priority of the NIH Library is to provide seamless access (by IP recognition) to all electronic resources. However, because some publishers are not yet offering the access through IP recognition we do have to accept password dependent access.
