Tammy Sayles
We are very pleased to have future librarian Tammy Sayles with us this semester. Tammy is completing her Master’s in Library and Information Science (MLIS) from Wayne State University and plans to graduate in December. Inspired by her experience in a class on academic libraries taught by our library Director, Dr. John Kondelik, Tammy arranged for him to supervise her in a practicum here at Stockwell-Mudd Library.
Her practicum requirements are to complete 135 hours and to work on a specific project for the library. She staffs the reference desk on Sunday and Wednesday nights and devotes Saturdays to her project, a marketing analysis of the library.
“Basically, I am focusing on how the library can promote its wonderful electronic and print resources to the students, faculty, and community,” explains Tammy.
Her research and recommendations will be presented to Dr. Kondelik and his staff in early December.
