With the unique position of a new library director and a spotlight on Beaman Library, we seized the opportunity to engage and collaborate with faculty to enhance the library’s resources and services. We used a new citation management tool, EndNote, to open the door to actively converse with our faculty about their research needs and current library services. Regular EndNote classes for our faculty led to a broader discussion of library services for faculty and students, which culminated in the Beaman Library Faculty User Group. This group meets 1-2 times a month to discuss library needs, new resources and services, and tips on using the library. Faculty response has been overwhelmingly positive and led to the devlopment of a faculty summer course on using the library in research and teaching activities.
