A new University Libraries Spotlight series highlights the work of one of our librarians each month. Read Tony’s story here, and email Kelsey Lovewell Lippard if you have interest in being the subject of a future University Libraries Spotlight story.

If you give students or the media permission to film inside Mullins Library, please let the friendly folks who man our desks know about it! Not sure who all mans the desks? Email Kathleen Lehman.

Get ‘Em While They’re Hot!
Nearly half of the spots available for our upcoming Research Data Management Workshop have already been filled! Register today to reserve yours.

University of Arkansas Libraries, Fayetteville, will host a research data management workshop on Tuesday, April 4, and Wednesday, April 5, 2017. On April 4, expert presenters will lead the full-day program Building Your Research Data Management Toolkit: Integrating RDM into Your Liaison Work, produced by the Association of College and Research Libraries.  On April 5, U of A researchers will hold panel discussions about the challenges of managing data. The program on this second day will end at noon. Library and information professionals as well as ITS staff, research office administrators, and others who provide research support services will find this workshop valuable. Thanks to a generous grant from the Greater Western Library Alliance, U of A Libraries is pleased to offer this event at no charge to participants. (There is no registration fee!) But space is limited, so registration is required.

Shout Out (n.) Informal. A message of congratulation, support, or appreciation.
“The Newbies” give a shout-out to Kathleen Lehman for showing new faculty how to complete the Faculty Review Checklist. Earning tenure is a daunting process, and we appreciate coaching from someone who has completed it successfully!
