Library Reference

Faculty & Staff

Six faculty reference librarians and one professional staff member collaborate to provide reference services to library users, contribute research instruction and support to the college curriculum, supervise library student workers and interns, and manage ongoing and special administrative projects within the library. Faculty reference librarians serve as area selectors in Science, Social Science, Digital Media, Rhetoric, American Studies, and the Humanities. Library faculty also rotate out of the Library to teach periodically in the full time coordinated studies curriculum.

Reference Services

The reference team treats each reference interview as an opportunity for college level teaching and dynamic faculty-student engagement. We staff the reference desk for almost all of the library's open hours with a member of the faculty and highly trained members of the staff. We use every moment as a "teachable moment."

Research Instruction and Support

For current faculty and students, Contact A Librarian for specific information.

Administrative Projects

• Brown Bag Speaker Series - an annual lunch time series in the Library Underground, featuring college community members, and sponsored by the Friends of the Evergreen Library, Inc.
• Library Wiki - a publicly available staff intranet that centralizes library administrative and special projects information.
• Library Internship - a learning program that combine academic study with library work exchange opportunities for students interested in library and information science careers.

Faculty Rotation

A faculty exchange program between the library and the academic curriculum provides opportunities for faculty librarians to leave their library duties periodically to join faculty teams teaching in full time coordinated studies programs.  This rotation is exchanged each year within the academic division, so that one member of the regular faculty rotates into the library to fill the role of a faculty librarian as a professional development opportunity.
