# Pilot Project for Medical Librarians to Document and Preserve Scientific Code at their Institutions!
### About the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) and NNCO
NNCO is the National Network Coordinating Office which leads the NNLM.
## Motivation
+ Scientific Reproducibility
## Levels of engagement
+ General librarians
+ Advertising Code
+ Integration into existing data catalogs
+ Integration Testing
+ Code-savvy librarians
+ Help with continuous integration
+ e.g. https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci
+ Help with containerization
+ Help with code refactoring
## Initial Ideas
+ People write new code themselves
+ 1-2 years - code becomes dead
Identification of projects
+ Personal contacts
+ ~4 projects/institution
Time commitment
+ 1 hour per week? (total of 8 hours)
+ Is that feasible?
Things to measure
+ Interaction between librarians and biomedical coders
+ Improvement in documentation
+ Increase in understanding of code by librarians
+ Code within environment

### Notes from active discussions with network libraries (Pitt, UCSF)
+ Metadata does not necessarily exist.
+ Making the library itself more external facing
+ Potential to Involve NLM Data Science Capstone Project Participants
+ Are there things where "best practices" are higher throughput
What does interaction look like?
+ Hackathon-like meetings?
+ User groups?
+ Code review?
+ Creation of services?
