Re-read New Roles for New Times: Transforming Liaison Roles in Research Libraries

Read 1/2 of 2015 Ithaka S+R US Faculty Survey

Also read 1/2 of Belief Echoes article for Honors class and worked on article with Tyler/Rob to incorporate Tyler's changes.

Thoughts:
No mention of librarians broad perspective--ability to see beyond disciplinary boundaries or thinking that is our advantage. At least that wasn't emphasized.

Is there a dissonance between what faculty say they are doing and what librarians perceive as their potential future roles? Or is the survey geared toward what libraries are currently doing? (I'll see. haven't finished it yet).

for Friday

Re-read questions for interviews, add to list to interview from Pilot report
Add additional readings to EndNote library and make notes on readings I've done
Get SPEC Kit 189 from UofL, maybe older versions too?
