Taking the Librarian out of the Library

Shannon Gordon

In the spring 2013 term, Shannon Gordon, the University of Waterloo Library’s Pharmacy Liaison Librarian, was involved with a first year course at the School of Pharmacy. This marked an exciting new development and was a step forward in the involvement of librarians supporting information literacy in the classroom. Now, during the spring 2014 term, Shannon is co-instructing another course, and the opportunities to bring the Library even closer to students are growing.

They recently discovered the value in those old Street View images due to the many user requests to view them again.
