Have you ever wished for a master list of \u201cthose things\u201d\u2014sorted twelve different ways, cross-listed, and checked for duplication? So have we. And thanks to Mariah Newton at the Zalk Veterinary Medical Library, that wish is becoming reality.<\/p>\n
Mariah, Library Specialist Sr., recently created a comprehensive spreadsheet mapping the Veterinary Medical Library\u2019s reserve collection. This wasn\u2019t just a list\u2014it was a data-rich tool that captured which textbooks are used in which courses, by which instructors, in what formats, and how frequently. Her work unexpectedly launched a curriculum mapping project, giving the library team a powerful resource to analyze instructional periods, identify overlapping materials, and explore cost-saving opportunities.<\/p>\n
This data also opens the door to deeper conversations with faculty and stakeholders about integrating library instruction at key points in the curriculum\u2014ensuring students graduate as information-literate veterinarians. Future additions to the map will include textbook edition updates, faculty assignments, and connections to student organizations like SAVMA and journal clubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
