Faculty Publications, Research, Exhibitions, and Performances Information Plus Guide

ACC Library Services is pleased to announce the debut of the Austin Community College Library Services’ Faculty Publications, Research, Exhibitions, and Performances Information Plus Guide. We are excited about showcasing accomplishments of our full-time faculty’s outstanding creative output to the ACC community - as well as the wider world - in an online format. Those faculty included in the Guide responded to a call for submissions that went out in May to full-time faculty. The goal of the Guide is to maintain a dynamic environment; therefore, there will be a second call later this Fall, complete with guidelines and instructions.

In addition, now that the pilot is up and running, adjunct faculty will also be invited to participate after the first of the year.

The Guide is included in the list of Library and Subject Guides accessible from Library Services’ home page – library.austincc.edu or directly from researchguides.austincc.edu/facultypubs

Although we will be maintaining the Guide within our list of guides, faculty should feel free to link the page with their entry or the guide in its entirety from their online syllabus or CV.

Each year two Guide participants will be featured in READ posters and bookmarks, and the Guide will be advertised via the library’s and college’s social media as well as traditional outlets.

Thank you to all who responded so far. We had to ‘start small’ to work out the best possible way to design the content and highlight accomplishments. Watch for our invitations to expand our coverage later this Fall!
