Networking
E-Resources Colleague Directory
As a way to make networking with other e-resources librarians and staff easier, the E-Resources Colleague Directory will be comprised of participating e-resources librarians and staff, listing their contact information and areas of expertise. This directory will be a way to connect with e-resources colleagues for support, discussion, feedback or collaboration.
If you are an electronic resources librarian or staff member, please consider adding your information to the directory by filling out the following form:
Emails listed in the survey will be tested on an annual basis, and any individuals with emails that are non-deliverable will be removed from the directory. You may also ask to be removed from the directory at an time by using the contact form.
