We are very pleased to announce that the 2010 Global Scholars for MU Libraries will be Dorothy Carner, Adjunct Professor, Missouri School of Journalism and Head of the Journalism Libraries, and Ann Riley, Associate Director for Technical Services.
The Provost’s Global Scholars Program brings together faculty members from around the MU campus to participate in an overseas learning and exchange experience intended to help MU faculty internationalize their teaching and research. This year, a new program led by Fritz Cropp, the Director of International Programs at the School of Journalism and Director of the MU Transatlantic Center, will center on Brussels, Belgium and its vicinity. The seminar will introduce MU faculty members to institutions in the capital of Europe and provide opportunities to interact and share potential research and projects with their European counterparts.
Dorothy Carner intends to collaborate with libraries and librarians in Belgium to help support the work of students in the MU School of Journalism- Brussels Program, to develop relationships with librarians charged with managing journalism/communication/mass media collections in Europe, and to develop a better understanding of European media. Ann Riley will be collaborating with librarians from the Universities of Liege and Louvain to discuss open access and cooperative repositories, international scholarly communication, and international education.
Please congratulate our two newest Global Scholars on their acceptance to this prestigious program.
