The Instruction Division would like to welcome students, faculty, staff, and friends of the Marriott Library to our new blog. Having the opportunity to interact with a diverse group of library users throughout the academic year–both in the classroom and in one-on-one consultations–we’ve found that there are a lot of questions and conversations about library services, resources, events, and even the library building itself. And if you’ve had a chance to participate in library instruction, you probably realized, too, that the old stereotype of the shushing, hair-in-a-bun librarian couldn’t be more inaccurate. We’ve got a lot to talk about.
The Instruction Division librarians, Linda, Sarah, Crystal, and I (Adriana), will be making posts on a pretty regular basis to share our thoughts about what’s going on in Library Land, to explore ideas about new technologies, to discuss news items, and to answer interesting user questions. So, drop by sometime and chat. We welcome your comments, questions, stories, complaints, anything.
