Marianne Buehler, the new urban sustainability librarian at UNLV’s Lied Library. She is excited to be a part of the university and is looking for suggestions as to what materials to add to the sustainability collection at the library.
The rest of the article consists of a brief Q&A style interview. Here is one exchange.
RY: What do you do as the sustainability librarian?
MB: One of my focuses is sustainability collection development, which is increasingly interdisciplinary, as is archiving local, state and federal government documents.
Also important is building content in the IR to showcase UNLV’s research and publications, open-access journals, conferences, graduate student scholarship and USI’s endeavors. Educating students and faculty on retaining author rights, open access publishing, creative commons licensing and other copyright topics is another scholarly communication opportunity to collaborate in all disciplines.
