I...I have been obsessed with this topic lately. I've gone so far as to solicit opinions about how people are doing research when I'm out socially with faculty. Over and over again I find them alienated. My approach is to tell them I'm trying to find out how people who don't need us are working. Most of the time it turns out I can tell them something that would be incredibly useful. Sometimes just a tidbit--but sometimes a lot more. I've started collecting faculty that are willing to talk to me about this--I'm calling them my "Super Users" and considering buying t-shirts or mugs, lol. They have begun to report to me _everything_ that is wrong in the library. It's not just about research, it's about Christmas garland on the handrails creating a hazard. Anything. Sometimes I can help--sometimes I'm as frustrated as they are. But I'm always able to pass the feedback along at least.<br /><br />Yay Colleen for a fantastic post.Amanda Clay Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876085295276868322noreply@blogger.com
