Another congratulations goes out to our Outreach Librarian, Joyce DeStasio on the publication of her book chapter "Common Reading Collaboration for First-Year Student Success" in The Small to Midsize Academic Library: Collaborations and Outreach. This is the first book in a new series, The Small to Midsize Academic Library, published by ACRL (Association of College & Research Libraries). Joyce's chapter details her approach to creating a library information literacy activity for our first-year seminar students. This interactive activity ties into the First-Year Seminar's common reading program and is one of the many ways Joyce and the other librarians work to support our First-Year Seminar students and faculty.
If you are interested in learning more about our support for the First-Year Seminars or the common reading information literacy activity, please email Joyce for access to the book chapter or to ask any questions you may have.
On Friday, November 15, our Metadata Librarian Stephanie Sussmeier presented a poster at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC) Fall 2024 Virtual Conference. Stephanie's poster "Successful Cataloging from a Distance" highlighted the new ways in which our cataloging department is working together and staying connected despite being physically apart during our relocation for renovation. Stephanie discussed not only the challenges encountered and changes implemented, but also the unexpected positives that emerged.
