I had the privilege of speaking with three instructional librarians during this campus closure: Elena Rodriguez, Amanda Kraft, and Gretchen Scronce. They shared some important information with me. The first is that every school has a liaison, a librarian who is ready, willing, and able to collaborate. Also, faculty who work with them have several key advantages. They know:
- what collaboration with a liaison looks like
- how librarians meet faculty needs
- what OER initiatives are happening at CofC along with their benefits
In the end, I also reached out to Professor Elaine Worzala, a faculty member in the School of Business who has benefited from partnering with Amanda Kraft. She related from a professor’s perspective what the collaborative effort looks like.
Below are some links that will help you:
- find your liaison by subject
- discover library services available to faculty
- answer questions about academic continuity and e-learning
- book an appointment via Zoom
- pick up and return physical materials while Addlestone Library is physically closed
I hope you’ll consider contacting your library liaison, your own professional superhero research partner.
