<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many of you sent me names of your librarians who work closely with basic education instructors and students. This is for a presentation at WLA in November. Now that the presentation proposal has been accepted, I am going to interview
librarians before the end of spring quarter. Just so you know, I am sharing the list of librarians you nominated and the list of questions. If you have further suggestions, please feel free to contact me off list. I would love to hear of additional librarians
to contact as well as suggested modifications to the questions. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will contact the librarians by the end of the week to set up telephone interviews. I’ll send the list of questions in advance so librarians have a chance to think about their responses.
<o:p></o:p></p>
