You create value for your library and your own position within it when you become an instructional partner to faculty and a mentor to student researchers. Starting with Course management system tools and citations lists, Buffy J.

Topics include

·         Proven strategies for developing meaningful partnerships with instructors and students

·         Examples of how innovative librarians are applying these tools today
