Staff Shout-Outs!
I have a few wonderful staff notes to share with everyone.
- The popular vote for the husky dog statues on the Plaza are in and our own Patty Guardiani’s dog won!
- Patrick Carr’s article manuscript titled “Aligning Collections with Student Needs: East Carolina University’s Project to Acquire and Promote Online Access to Course-Adopted Texts Serials Review” was accepted for publications in Serials Review. It will appear in the upcoming issue v. 42, no.1, 2016.
- Janice Christopher will be presenting about our Alma/Primo implementation at ALA Midwinter in January.
Boston Library Consortium
I am pleased to announce that I have been appointed Vice President/President Elect of the Boston Library Consortium. I think there is no better time to be involved with BLC and furthering their resource sharing goals across member institutions. I am looking forward to working with the dozens of institutions that make up the consortium in the years ahead.
I know many of you will be taking time off over the next few weeks so I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a wonderful holiday. As I said in my Mashup earlier this week, I am truly honored to work alongside each of you and appreciate the work that you all do every day. I hope you will take some time to relax and spend time with family and friends this winter break. And if you haven’t already done so, please mark your calendars for our New Year’s Party on Thursday, January 14th from 1-3pm.
And finally for a little Friday afternoon fun, my colleague Dean Steve Smith at the University of Tennessee Knoxville is the juggler- too bad I have no similar talents!
