Please provide comments about Faculty Lines – what you like best or least about it, suggestions to improve it or make it more relevant to you, etc.

Several faculty have expressed a desire for more communication and outreach from the library. One idea being considered is a Rosen Library advisory council. The idea would be for the Rosen librarians to meet two or three times a year with faculty members from each of the departments, to foster additional communication and collaboration between the library and the faculty.

This is a good idea – go for it
This is a bad idea – forget about it
Maybe this could work – tell us more
Other:

We have told you a lot about the Rosen Library Research Tutorials, a set of asynchronous tutorials and accompanying quizzes designed to teach Rosen College students the basics of conducting library research. Are you considering using the Tutorials with one or more courses in the future?

Yes – will definitely use
Maybe – not sure yet
No – because it sounds like too much work for me
No – because I do not give assignments involving research
No – other reason:

Other:

We are considering providing space in the library for the University Writing Center (UWC) to offer writing consultations for students on the Rosen campus, perhaps once or twice a week.  How useful do you think such a service would be?
