Saturday

• Speakers Series Survey

  Dean Dowell has asked the Staff Development Committee to survey library staff about your response to the presentations made by four speakers in recent months. She plans to continue these talks and discussions with the goal of creating a dialogue among library staff about issues that affect the Heard Libraries and other academic libraries. As we plan for the future of our institution, it is important to reflect on lessons learned by our library colleagues and other professionals whose work speaks to the needs of academic libraries. Won?t you help us improve this project?

  Please take a moment to fill out this short questionnaire with your comments and suggestions. All responses will remain anonymous. Thank you for your help.
