your new Library Teams
You may have noticed some new faces at your campus libraries following the implementation of the new Institute Library Team structure in October:
8 teams of 4 library staff.
With more staff we can now increase service flexibility outside the library walls both physically and virtually. We’re looking forward to liaising more closely with teachers, WeLCs and FeLCs.
We also have specialist library teams and faculty aligned teams. I’m in the Educational specialist team which has identified del.icio.us, Netvibes and rss as useful tools we can introduce to teachers. In 2009 I aim to take my support directly into the teacher offices to help set up del.icio.us on teacher pc’s.
Moving towards providing virtual library services, in 2008 several libraries have already developed campus wikis and blogs – NCTAFE Wikis - NCTAFE Library Blogs
NCTAFE librarians have been using Adobe Connect for meetings and training. Travel time saved has meant F2F customer service could continue with minimal disruption, not to mention the valuable safety and environmental benefits.
With the Don’t be afraid celebration coming up on 11 December I hope you can meet a few librarians there and share 2008 success stories!
