Putting Librarians in THEIR Place: a fresh look at
outreach
2008-11-21 [5.5 hours]; Penn State Great Valley, Malvern PA
á Academic
librarians are finding new & different ways of interacting with students &
faculty, many of which take us beyond the walls of the library. In the morning
session, we will hear Martin Kesselman of Rutgers
University speaking on ÒEmbedded Librarianship: New Roles Based on Traditional
Values.Ó His talk will address the various ways librarians are weaving their
services into courses, academic departments, & even international research
partnerships. Wayne Bivens-Tatum will then give a
talk entitled ÒSeize the Day: Entrepreneurial Librarianship.Ó Are you wondering
what an entrepreneurial librarian is? Someone who seizes opportunities, is
tenacious, & has a desire to continually evaluate & improve services to
a user community. He will discuss the strategies & techniques he developed
on the way to becoming an integral member of & information service provider
for an academic department at Princeton University. For the afternoon session,
we are planning a panel of three pairs from area academic institutions. The
panelists will share their experiences, as the librarian or faculty member,
when librarians collaborate with specific departments or faculty for library
instruction & reference service.
