Lorelei Rutledge<\/h3>\n

University of Utah Marriott Library in Salt Lake City, UT<\/h3>\n

Research and Information Services Associate Librarian<\/h3>\n

A little about Lorelei’s job:
\nLorelei Rutledge provides reference and instruction as a member of Marriott Library’s Research and Information Services Department. She provides information literacy instruction in a variety of courses, liaises with the University’s Communication Sciences and Disorders, Family and Consumer Studies, and Nutrition departments as well as the Center for Disability Services, and manages the library’s chat and email reference services.<\/p>\n

1) What are some things you like about your job or about working in libraries in general?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really enjoy working with students to introduce them to library resources. Many of them are delighted about the resources we provide, and I love seeing the light bulb go on when they see all of the materials they can access!<\/p>\n

2) What\u2019s a project or committee you\u2019re working on right now that you\u2019re excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am really excited to continue to improve and promote our library services for students, faculty, and staff with impairments.<\/p>\n

3) What got you interested in libraries?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was working on a Master’s degree in Communication when I got a chance to work on a library project at the University of Colorado that involved cataloging government materials. I was hooked.<\/p>\n

4) What is one of your favorite things about NMRT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I appreciate the opportunity to connect with other librarians.<\/p>\n

5) Do you have any advice for other new librarians?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t be afraid to ask for advice! There are several listservs and other tools that librarians can use to connect with each other on topics of interest, and I rely on them heavily to inform my own practices.<\/p>\n
