Session Description
Engaging faculty as lifelong learners who interact with library staff as a resource as well as utilize the library's holdings and resources, is integral to the goals of our library. This year's newest initiatives concern working with faculty as writers. To that end, I entered into two new initiatives this year: One is the "Berklee Writes Community of Interest" Group, which is a writer's collective which works on improving and bettering faculty writing for a variety of purposes including writing textbooks, creative writing, and academic writing styles. The other initiative was part of the "Berklee Teachers on Teaching" program, where I offered a specific workshop on "getting published" called "Academic Writing: Do's and Don'ts for Navigating Interdisciplinary Terrain." Following on the heels of the last few years' successful and ongoing Books@Berklee program, this talk will look at what it takes to get faculty involved; building a program geared just for them; how these programs have increased faculty interactions and engagement with other aspects of the library; and some ideas for starting programs for faculty and ways to maintain interest.
