November 2015 525 C&RL News

Welcome to the November 2015 issue of C&RL 
News. With the celebration of Open Access Week 
last month, developing policies and promoting 
participation in producing open content is on the 
minds of many librarians. But sometimes momen-
tum towards open comes from areas on campus 
other than the library. Gennie Gebhart and Juliya 
Ziskina discuss “Students as leaders in open ac-
cess advocacy” in this month’s Scholarly Commu-
nication column.

Many academic libraries provide support for 
education and teacher development programs 
through collections and services. In their article 
“Toad and Frog make friends,” Bernadette A. 
Lear and Karla M. Schmit of Penn State University 
discuss their efforts in collaborative collection de-
velopment to provide a wider range of resources 
for education students.

Mara L. Houdyshell and Coleen Meyers-Martin 
applied a road show model to promote the curricu-
lum materials center at California State University-
Northridge. They write about their program in the 
article “Just give us 10 minutes!”

Providing access to information through col-

lection development is also the focus of Sharon 
Holderman’s article on cultivating relationships with 
faculty through “Formalizing the academic library 
subscription request process.” In this issue’s The 
Way I See It essay, John H. Bales discusses “Making 
all the right moves for liaison engagement.”

At Belmont University, librarians collaborate 
across campus boundaries by acting as advisors 
for undeclared students. Judy Williams and Claire 
Wiley discuss their participation in the program in 
their article “Academic advising.”

This fall, ACRL launched a new version of the 
association’s annual statistics collection device. 
Georgie Donovan and Teresa A. Fishel provide an 
overview of the changes in “Introducing the new 
ACRL Trends and Statistics Survey.”

Make sure to check out the other features 
and departments this month, including Internet 
Resources on endangered languages by Colin 
Chappell and a look at the November issue of 
our online-only scholarly research journal Col-
lege & Research Libraries.

Thanks as always for reading the News.
