Abstract

Who’s training who? In our current technology rich environment, training collection development liaisons is now an interactive process. New librarians are bringing to their jobs innovative, dynamic ideas about technology and communication that can have a positive impact on collection development activities.

Drawing on their experience as new liaisons at Albertsons Library, Boise State University, three librarians discuss and describe the technologies that they are using to promote, educate, and enhance collection development including Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, interactive online liaison manuals, RSS, customized Web pages for faculty, embedded librarians, RCL, and more
