Libraries And General Education: New Strategies To Enhance Freshman Orientation, Faculty Collaboration, And Curriculum Development, Carl R. Andrews

In the short time that I have worked in academic libraries I have learned that quality customer service and reference desk work is far from the list of priorities in some settings.

As professionals we should do more in the way of making …

Academic Libraries Supporting The Research Needs Of Student Veterans: A Bibliography, Rebecca Arzola
Publications and Research
The number of Student Veterans entering higher education is growing especially after the passing of the new Post-9/11 GI Bill in 2008. Veterans are using their educational benefits and transitioning from a military to civilian environment. In order to meet the needs of student veterans, administrators, faculty and staff are trying to make available support services for veterans. There is a range of services that can be provided and the library is one that can provide both a physical and virtual environment to support veterans. Although not always mentioned in articles on student veteran transition, it is important that libraries …
