Promoting Subject Specialists & Enhancing Visibility of Library Reference [Panel] ALA, RUSA-MERS
2016 American Library Assoc. Annual Conf., RUSA - MERS
(2016)
Abstract
Academic library reference continues to go through transformation, as users increasingly rely on the web for their information needs. Traditional library liaison and subject specialist roles are changing, as librarians attempt to realign services with university-wide goals, including an increased emphasis on undergraduate student success. This panel program will show how institutions market, brand, and promote their reference services on the web; how library subject liaisons and specialists are presented online. This panel program will explore what various institutions are doing to increase the visibility of their subject librarians and how they are formalizing and assessing their new and existing efforts.
