Three librarians share best practices for employing Resources for College Libraries

Subject bibliographies have historically been used to ensure that library collections meet student and faculty needs and provide users with quality content. As budgets, staff, and subject expertise continue to shift, library resources must often perform double-duty. For over 50 years, librarians have relied on Resources for College Libraries (RCL) for peer-reviewed, vetted title selections across the college curriculum. Long considered an authoritative resource for collection development, this webinar will introduce new ways RCL can be used to support academic programs, improve liaison work, and contribute to student success.

In this webinar, you’ll learn three methods for utilizing RCL’s core content in your library’s workflow:

  • preparing accreditation or program reports;
  • managing new or interim subject responsibilities; and
  • creating instruction and research tools.
