Two Meetings at the Dana Library Yesterday

The Newark campus of Rutgers University is literally across the street from NJIT. Yesterday I had two meetings at the Dana Library there. The morning meeting was with the VALE reference services committee. We discussed the results of a survey that was distributed to the member libraries. This was in preparation for a presentation at the annual meeting on January 8th.

In the afternoon the reference librarians at NJIT met with Haipeng Li and Bob Nahory of the Dana staff to discuss a grant proposal for developing a diverse science librarianship program in New Jersey. The proposed program will seek support from the Laura Bush 21st Century Program at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to recurit and prepare 20 science librarians in a new science librarianship certificate program.
