Collection Development for My Random Life.

If you are in the neighborhood this Thursday, I will be presenting with some fellow BSU librarians a discussion on eBooks at the Idaho Libraries Association conference being held in Nampa, ID. The talk is about how eBooks have settled into being routine and revisiting how libraries and patrons actually use them. The ILA program descriptions can be viewed here: http://www.idaholibraries.org/node/194

I am also coordinating a poster/media contest for our library to help promote our services and resources. Information on the contest can be viewed here: http://library.boisestate.edu/staff/librarycontest.htm

Finally, to toot my own horn, an article I co-wrote about criminology resources was tentatively accepted by References and User Services Quarterly (RUSQ) in the Alert Collector section. I’ll give more info once that gets closer to being published. But yay!, for being published!

My name is Rick Stoddart and I am a Reference Librarian at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. I attended library school at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) where I also received a Masters in Communication Studies, as well as ate a lot of great Southern food. I am originally from California but I have also lived in the Marshall Islands, Montana, Kansas, Colorado, and Georgia.
