- ScanGrants: A New Service for Libraries, a New Role for Librarians Leman, Hope Medical Research Public Health Scholarships Library Services Librarians Grants Educational Finance Researchers Financial Support Information Retrieval Online Searching User Needs (Information) Search Strategies Higher Education Search Engines ScanGrants (www.scangrants.com) is a free, online listing of grants, scholarships, and other types of funding in the health sciences. It is basically a launch pad for anyone looking for money to fund medical research or community/public health projects, or to finance their education in various healthcare fields. The goal is to enable researchers, practitioners, and students in health-related areas (e.g., medicine, public health, academia) to spend less time searching for funding and more time in the lab, out on the front lines of public health, or in the classroom. This article discusses ScanGrants as an example of a web-service vehicle for library services outreach, professional development, and personal growth; and as a service that librarians might use in their daily duties.
