INNOVATIONS, CHANGES, AND MODIFICATIONS

FY2000 was a year of significant change in the Hilton C. Buley Library, as detailed throughout this document.  One extremely successful innovation warrants special mention – the Information Services Division, headed by Susan Miller, initiated a pilot program assigning librarian mentors to research fellows.  Librarians volunteered to work with individual fellows on their research efforts:
