The bibliography we create serves as a point of reference for members of its twenty-four year old international society and members of the public who are interested in the intersection of science and arts and humanities. Professional Organization Activities—National American Library Association, Library Instruction Roundtable Appointed Co-Chair Top 20 committee, 2009 – 2011 As co-chair of this committee, I helped facilitate the publication of annotated entries for the best twenty library instruction articles of each year to be published each June in LIRT News.

Overall, the goal of the program is to cultivate an experience for these students much like one experienced in a traditional, small liberal arts college. Librarianship Internship Program (2011 – 2014): Mentoring undergraduate English majors who are interested in pursuing a MLIS degree. Given the interest, intern positions were set up between the library and the English department’s internship coordinator, Steve Kark, so that interested students could earn three hours class credit as they work with librarians from a variety of departments. Since inception, one student has completed library school and another has found library staff employment. McNair Scholars Mentoring Program (2007 – 2008; 2011): Mentoring for eight weeks students from lowincome families, first generation college students, and minorities. The program’s goal is to help prepare students for graduate school. Presentations Presentations—National Krishnamurthy, Mangala and Stovall, C (contributor). (May 2015).
