I was catching up on my reading perusing the June 2008 issue of C&RL News. First, I hope everyone has read Matt & Dale’s “Engaging undergraduates in special collections through English composition;” it was well written and gives Joyner & ECU some good exposure.
There were also a couple of other pieces that provided some food for thought. The article by Nancy Courtney on “Paying faculty to use library resources,” outlined Ohio State University Libraries grant program which encourages teaching faculty to incorporate library electronic resources in their course. The author concludes by saying that the library “has come to view the grant program as a valuable incentive for bringing together faculty and librarians and maximizing the use of our resources.” Would this be something we might want to try? What funds could we use to do something similar; OSU set aside $50,000 to support the program and gave $2,000 faculty grants?
In the same issue, Maria Anna Jankowska provided “A call for sustainable library operations and services.” Are we here at Joyner doing our part to be more sustainable in our operations and services? Would anyone be interested in a task force?
