InfoFair is an annual event hosted by the Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center, held beginning in 1983 with the goal of providing up-to-date health sciences information. For over thirty-five years, InfoFair has showcased cutting-edge computer technology and educated users on computer services, applications, and resources.
The last InfoFair was held in 2015, and the event evolved into the Research Reproducibility Conference and Lecture Series.
