Library Champions



Dr. Lynn Rumfelt visits the Dorothy W. Hightower Collaboration Center & Library about once a month. Rumfelt also uses the online resources about 1-2 times a week for research. Rumfelt’s students are “encouraged to use their personal librarian, Professor Brenda Rutherford to provide a brief overview of Library Services and reserve training session with their Personal Librarian on the Library premises later in the semester.” She also has used her Personal Librarian to conduct tours of the library for her students. While Rumfelt has not incorporated LibGuides into her classes, she intends to do so this academic year. Rumfelt encourages her students to use GALILEO. Rumfelt recommends colleagues take advantage of the training sessions offered by personal librarians. “They make research much easier for the students.” “Group study rooms with white boards and speech practice rooms” are things that Dr. Rumfelt likes most about the library.
