Meredith Farkas is a newish distance education librarian, and has just posted a very good essay in which she comes to the conclusion that before she markets library resources to her students, she needs to market very heavily to faculty. Without faculty buy-in the students aren’t going to use the library no matter how good the instruction or resources. Meredith, even if it was an obvious conclusion (which it isn’t), it’s very good to be reminded of it from time to time. There may be some useful information in Samantha’s recent survey of what DE faculty want from the library. Off to call a faculty member now…
