Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship

Check out the article "Science Experiments: Reaching Out to Our Users" in the current issue of Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship. Our own Linda Whang and other UW science librarians are the authors! Here's an excerpt from the introduction:

Convincing the faculty and students in the sciences of the value of libraries and librarians can be a particularly "hard sell" as more and more of their primary journal literature becomes available online anywhere from any computer. Six science librarians from the University of Washington experimented with both traditional and unconventional ways to engage our users. We tried meeting them in their spaces, luring them into ours, and using the middle ground of the Internet, with creative initiatives including blogs, give-aways, geocaching, and more.
