Education News from Buley
- Spring 2002 by June Cheng
As some of you may already know, we now have subject specialists in education, social sciences, sciences etc. in Buley library, who will take care of the collection development and instruction for these areas. I am the education reference librarian and my responsibility is to help you with your information needs in the education disciplines.
This is what I can do for you:
Provide bibliographic instructions for your class in regard to how to use library resources.
Meet with individual faculty, graduate and undergraduates and help them with their specific questions in their research.
Develop the collections for education, educational leadership, exercise science, school health, special education, counseling and school psychology.
Please feel free to contact me or have your students contact me in regard to these areas.
