Purpose of the Page

•will be emailed to faculty members within FASET (part of faculty liaison)• provides information about new resources

acquired by the library• encourages faculty to recommend relevant

resources for the collection (and explains why these recommendations are so valuable)• is school-specific

Page 3: FASET Library Collections Faculty Page

About the Page

• created using LibGuides software • software is already familiar to some staff, so it

will not be too challenging if other collections staff want to create similar pages• library subscribes to software• new resources listed on the page will be

updated twice per year • faculty will be encouraged to add a shortcut

to the page on their desktops

Page 21: FASET Library Collections Faculty Page

There is a lot of white space

Page 22: FASET Library Collections Faculty Page

Also …

• there are no links to PDFs• the text is broken up with several pictures

(not a wall of text)• presents all text in a sans-serif font• does not (I hope) use much library jargon• opens links within the same window so that

users can navigate back using the back button• allows for size adjustments using Ctrl+

How the Technology Helps Me to Liaise with Faculty …

• faculty can keep shortcut to page on desktop• resources information can be frequently

updated• interactive survey encourages

recommendations and provides me with immediate feedback • links provide instant access to resources as

well as answers to frequently asked questions

Page 24: FASET Library Collections Faculty Page

My Journey• time-consuming to make each tab school-specific

but worth it to ensure relevancy• page is currently ‘unpublished’• will present the idea of the page at an upcoming

collections committee meeting, and then publish it and send it out once I have approval• will continue to think about ways to use new

technologies in my collection work (e.g., maybe imbed a recommendations survey within the FASET-related subject guides to get student feedback)
