Thread: librarians are people too. #UNBCFAStrong
Librarians provide many important services to the entire UNBC community. They are one of the groups in the @UNBCFA that we are collectively fighting for. Here are some of those services.
UNBC librarians teach information literacy skills to undergraduate and graduate students. They also teach these skills to professors. In today’s world these skills are incredibly important. #UNBCFAStrong
UNBC librarians collect, manage, and facilitate access to print and online collections and resources. As a professor, I know first hand how important these services are. So do my students. #UNBCFAStrong
UNBC librarians also collect, manage, and facilitate access to special collections and archives. One of my hobbies is reading the history of WWII. In these books the authors always thank librarians who help in finding these types of resources...
...so, librarians perform a huge service to authors, and thus readers, and without this service we would all be the poorer. THANK YOU LIBRARIANS!

UNBC librarians support student and faculty research. One cannot underscore enough how important this service is to the lifeblood of UNBC. #UNBCFAStrong
UNBC librarians also conduct their own research! They have collaborative research projects with UNBC colleagues as well as with colleagues at differ universities. They also have their own independent research projects. #UNBCFAStrong
UNBC librarians provide important service and leadership to the university. They serve on committees, etc., that allow for the effective day-to-day functioning of UNBC. #UNBCFAStrong
UNBC librarians are also engaged with the wider community. One example: I have given several presentations to high school students about what first year is like as a student, and about psychology. These were set up by librarians. #unbcfastrong
Two last comments. First, the librarians at UNBC do their work without much fanfare. They are excellent colleagues. I greatly appreciate the often hidden work they do for everyone they serve. #UNBCFAStrong
Second, @barbdaigle and @DanielJWeeks1, UNBC librarians have earned a fair deal from UNBC. Please do the honourable thing and give them that fair deal. #UNBCFAStrong
