New Year Brings New Opportunities
First I have to say thank you to the entire newsletter editorial group and welcome to Elaine Savely who is joining the group. In my absence they put together an awesome winter issue and I am so grateful for the expertise and willingness to serve that this group has, so thank you to:
Diane Kennedy
Susanna King
Laurie McGowan
and Jo Bessler, LEC liasion
I also wanted to let you know about something exciting, innovative, and creative that is happening within Access Services. You may have already heard that Clara Taylor, Reserve Book Room supervisor and myself are switching positions this spring. Training started in January and will continue throughout the next month or so when we will then officially make the switch. Clara and I are both looking forward to the new and different challenges this opportunity presents and have to thank Sue Dietl, Access Services department head and Nigel Butterwick, User Services Associate Director for the proposal and their encouragement. Fresh eyes bring new ideas and we are confident that this will be a win-win situation for the University Libraries. We ask for your help and support through the transition period as we continue the learning process.
