This post is written for Round 7 of the Library Day in the Life, a project started by Bobbi Newman, where librarians across the world share details of their daily activities. The is the 3rd time I am participating. Here are my Round 5, and Round 6 blog posts.
I am the Research and Development Librarian at Kansas State University Libraries, and I work in the Office of Library Planning and Assessment.
KU/K-State Professional Development Workshop
An all-day (8:30am – 4:00pm) professional workshop today. About once or twice a year, Kansas State University Libraries and University of Kansas Libraries organize a professional development workshop together and invite other academic librarians in Kansas to join us. This year’s workshop is held at K-State’s Hale Library. Anne Zald and Jennifer Fabbi, librarians at UNLV, present a workshop featuring their work at UNLV with the UNLV Faculty Institute on Research-Based Learning for High Impact Classes. Undergraduate research is the hot topic in higher ed right now. In fact, I am in the process of compiling a report of what programs and services academic libraries are providing to support undergraduate research.
