1. FIRST TWO TRLN
DOCTORAL FELLOWS COMPLETE PROGRAM
Carol Perryman collaborated in her research with librarians at the UNC Health Sciences Library and at the Duke University Medical Center Library. Her research revolved around issues of evidence-based library and information practice in academic libraries. Her papers and presentations are available at http://sils.unc.edu/research/projects/TRLN_Perryman.htm
Please join us in congratulating Cheryl and Carol on their achievements, and in wishing them the best for the future.
2. INTERNATIONAL LIBRARIANS
VISIT TRLN
Susan Barnard (NCSU) hosted a delegation of librarians from Uzbekistan and
Kazakhstan who came to the United States under the auspices of the Department
of State's International Visitor Leadership Program. The delegation was
interested in learning about cooperative and reciprocal services within TRLN.
Thanks to Susan for arranging an informative program at NCSU, and to James
Harper, Erick Moore, Greg Raschke and Rob Rucker for their participation.
3. STAFF ENRICHMENT SERIES
IS A SUCCESS
Seventy-five library staff members attended a recent program on "Bridging the
Generation Gap" by Linda Drake (UNC), and "ERMs: Planning for Electronic
Resource Management Systems" by Maria Collins (NCSU). Attendees reported that
both sessions were interesting and informative and they enjoyed the
opportunity to network with their TRLN colleagues. Many thanks to the
Committee on Human Resources Task Force who organized this program - Phoebe
Acheson (Duke), Tiffany Allen (UNC), and Laura Blessing (NCSU). Watch for the
news of the next installment in this series in the Fall.

5. REFERENCE LIBRARIANS TO
HOLD SYMPOSIUM
On August 10, from 10 am - 3 pm, TRLN will sponsor a symposium on reference
service at the Solution Center. Major topics of discussion will include
provision of reference service in an information commons -- how it has
changed, what challenges it poses for librarians -- and the new reference
collection: more electronic, and potentially smaller. How is this reinvented
reference collection built and managed? Participants will also choose from
various roundtable topics for lunch. Dr. David Carr, UNC SILS, will make
closing remarks. The symposium is open to staff who provide reference
services. Look for registration at the TRLN homepage soon.
