2008 Workshop - Registration Open!
Librarian-Faculty Collaboration: Practically(or barely?)Speaking
Please join us for the annual South Carolina Library Association, College and University Section workshop. The workshop is intended to share cutting-edge initiatives on Librarian-Faculty collaboration and provide opportunities for networking on this important topic with your colleagues from across the state.
The morning sessions will feature expert speakers on collaboration from both the faculty and librarian perspectives. Dr. William Hine, Professor of History at South Carolina State University, will share insight and advice based on his many and varied collaborative experiences with library services in a presentation titled, “Why I Love Librarians”. The librarian perspective will be presented by two librarians from Georgia State University: Dr. M. Lyn Thaxton, Associate Professor and Behavioral Sciences Liaison, and Ms. Tammy Sugarman, Associate University Librarian for Research Services. Their presentation is titled, “Making It Happen: Librarian-Faculty Collaboration to Improve Student Learning”. They have both been active in collaboration and in publishing about their experiences.
 Dr. William Hine |  Dr. M. Lyn Thaxton |  Ms. Tammy Sugarman |
In the afternoon, a panel of our own South Carolina librarians will discuss their exciting collaborative projects, covering a variety of areas including collection development, research assistance, and instruction. The panelists are Dr. Andrew Kearns, University of South Carolina Upstate; Ms. Camille McCutcheon, University of South Carolina Upstate; and Ms. Candace Moorer, Medical University of South Carolina.
