Presentation
Books + Donuts: Engaging faculty in collection review
Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Medical Librarian Association
(2017)
Abstract
This presentation describes a novel method of engaging faculty in the review of book collections in the health sciences and sciences. Evidence suggests that “due to their subject expertise, faculty tended to pull more books for withdrawal than the librarians and also offered opinions on where more books were needed to fill gaps in the collection” (Dubicki, 2008, p. 134). Health sciences and science librarians offered in-person events for faculty that allowed for real-time feedback and engagement with the book collection.
