DESCRIPTION
The rapid pace of technological change can leave faculty struggling to understand the role of the library in a digital environment. Librarians can easily loose touch with the ways that faculty are creating and accessing scholarship. This session will be useful for librarians who are new to faculty outreach as well as experienced librarians looking for new tools and strategies to help them communicate with faculty. Join us for a discussion of effective strategies to reach out to and communicate with faculty on campus. We will explore questions like: How can new technological tools assist librarians in sharing information with faculty? How can we use technology to encourage faculty to share information with us? And: How to invite yourself to a department meeting?
