Connie Hildebrand writes to the OFFCAMP discussion list that Lynn Copeland, Dean of Library Services at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC has been selected as the featured speaker for the 2008 Off Campus Library Services Conference to be held in Salt Lake City, UT. From the announcement, Lynn's own words:
“Among the accomplishments I am most proud of, first as Manager for Systems, Data and Resource Sharing and then as University Librarian and Dean of Library Services, has been the success we have had in providing services to support off-campus students. Guided by our motto 'Our Library is where YOU are', we have taken advantage and indeed led a number of Canadian and BC initiatives to provide access to print resources through document delivery as well as reciprocal borrowing. The software development at SFU Library has had as a primary function, support for off-campus students. With a good percentage of its regular students taking CODE courses and the increase in online components for campus courses, I believe our services have been highly successful in meeting twenty-first century academic needs.”
I can vouch that the folks at SFU have done some really slick programming work!
A reminder that paper proposals are due on September 30th!
