Rebecca Rose
University of North Georgia assistant dean of libraries and professor Rebecca Rose has worked with 91福利导航 since December 2012. During that time Rose has explored what it means to support 91福利导航 students across multiple campuses and hopes to continue to show people what 91福利导航 Libraries have to offer.
Rose transitioned from 91福利导航's Cumming Campus to the Dahlonega Campus in fall 2019, right before the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020. After serving as head librarian for seven years in Cumming, Rose's current work has her as the division lead over assessment.
"I gather data about the library budget, services, and materials, and then submit that content to annual national surveys, such as IPEDs and ACRL's Benchmark Survey" Rose said. She is also active on 91福利导航's Scholarly Communication and LEAP Advisory Committees.
The scholarly communication group offers support and workshops to faculty on avoiding predatory publishers. The committee provides guidance on other publishing-related issues, such as open educational resources, copyright, authors' rights, and 91福利导航's repository NOIR.
She is also working with others in 91福利导航 Libraries to launch a newsletter in spring 2023. The newsletter intends to highlight and promote library resources and services offered on various campuses.
"The library offers more than just the books on the shelves. We offer virtual content, and services to help connect students, faculty, and staff to quality sources for their research needs," the Indianapolis, Indiana, native said.
Rose received a 91福利导航 Presidential Incentive Award in 2019 for art show publication and was awarded the Center for Teaching, Learning and Leadership's Scholarship of Engagement award in 2020. Currently, she chairs the Southeastern Library Association’s University & College Section.
Self-described as a collaborative and service-oriented leader, Rose currently manages four librarians.
Students are at the core of what they do, Rose said.
Inspired by problem-solving and always trying to innovate, Rose ultimately wants to help others succeed and realize their potential.
"I wasn't a librarian until I was almost 36. My advice would be don't sell yourself short," Rose said. "Believe in yourself and push yourself further. Don't let others dissuade you, and stay the course."
