Library Projects
These projects were last updated on August 8, 2007. They are probably outdated, but provide you with an idea of what I have done in libraries.
Fitchburg State College
- Library Instruction: An overview of over three years work on the library instruction program.
- DIY Tutorials: Instructional tutorials created for students and other library patrons
- Information Literacy Team: This is a team of librarians and faculty collaborating to develop the information literacy program in the library.
- Information Commons: This is a proposal put through the Technology Advisory Committee to build an Information Common.
- RefWorks: This is a proposal put through the Technology Advisory Committee to provide funding to get RefWorks citation management system.
- Library Tours: Since we no longer run tours as part of instruction session at FSC, this is one of the proposals to create a variety of self-guided tours.
- iPod experiment: To accompany the self-guided tours we want to allow users to check out iPods and use them for self-guided tours.
- New Faculty Folders: this was a simple project to promote ourselves better with the new faculty.
- Graduate Student flyers: this flyer outlined our services to our Graduate Students. This was a collaboration with Print Services.
- Classroom Management : part of my job was to manage the library classroom. This was the plan in place to document what happened and needed to happen.
- Roving Reference: This plan was to strengthen the reference librarians skills with roving reference and then to give us iPhones as hand-help computers to use during the roving. Certain issues prevented us from using the iPhones, but this plan did push us into roving reference rather than just desk reference.
- Do It Yourself tutorials: This plan centered around library tutorials to suppliment instruction
- Virtual Reference research: Research done early in my tenure at FSC to explore virtual reference services. We would use free IM services such as Meebo in the end.
- Library Website: While I was not the project lead on this, I was part of the team that worked on the library webpage redesign and updates.
