Grow Your Own Scholarly Communication Program, Barbara Tierney, Lee Dotson, Sarah Norris, Ven Basco, John Venecek
Barbara Tierney
How does an academic library go about growing its own Scholarly Communication (SC) program with no budget, no staff, no dedicated office space, no partners, and no experience? The University of Central Florida Libraries responded to such a challenge during 2012-15 by creating a grassroots SC program staffed by a volunteer 20-member library faculty/staff advisory group.
The group began its work by creating an innovative “Research Lifecycle” model to help define an evolving menu of SC resources and services that could be turned on, as available, to UCF constituents. This grassroots program proved to be so successful that in 2015 …

The Subject Librarian Service Model At Ucf[Invited Speaker], Barbara Tierney
Barbara Tierney
UCF Libraries initiated a Subject Librarian (SL) service model in spring 2013 in an effort to increase positive impacts on student and faculty success with regard to teaching, learning, research, and publishing. This initiative seeks to change the librarian’s role from reactive to proactive. There is a new emphasis on librarians getting out of the library building, visiting their assigned academic departments, participating in faculty and student meetings, and creating partnerships with academic faculty and students.
