Dean's Update: Recognizing Libraries' Staff
Make it Yours Event IMageFor over fifty years, the American Library Association has sponsored observance of National Library Week, during the month of April. This week celebrates the contributions of the nation's libraries and promotes their use. This month at Drexel, we focus on library staff, including librarians, archivists, support staff and professionals with diverse expertise in such areas as technologies, communications and fiscal controls. In this issue, we invite you to learn more about the recent training, recognition and realignment of our organizational structure, all of which aim to improve experiences in finding authoritative information, connecting to scholarship and becoming better skilled and confident in navigating new information formats and managing personal data.  More >>>

Libraries Welcome  

Visitors from The  

University of The  

Gambia

During the past several  
academic terms, Liaison  
Librarians have stepped  
outside of the library to bring coaching and expertise to  
students and faculty members closer to the labs, classrooms and departmental spaces
where they work.

Libraries' staff were  

recognized with several  

different awards and  

accomplishments in April,   

including the Future Librarian Award, the Beatrice Davis  

Award, the Honorary Lifetime Membership award and more.  
Drexel faculty are invited to  
join colleagues and liaison  
librarians for the opening of a renovated space in W. W.  
Hagerty Library. Research  
Connections, Room 210, is
a designated faculty space
within the library. 
A delegation of visitors from Gambia visited Drexel
University for this event and held a series of meetings
with faculty, staff and the
Provost, including a visit to
the Libraries on Friday,
April 5, 2013.
