Hi Leo,
We too receive a list of academic new starters in research and teaching positions from HR (but not support staff). This is circulated to all
of the academic librarians who then contact them directly either with a standard introductory email or with a more personalised message. The main purpose of the email is to invite the member of staff to meet with their academic librarian on a one-to-one basis
for an introduction to the Library. Those that choose to meet are presented with an introductory pack containing promotional literature, a guide highlighting key services and resources (information literacy teaching, database accessibility, serials review,
etc.), a bookmark printed with their academic librarian’s details, a licence form for our Institutional Repository, etc. This is seen as both a personalised introduction to the Library and a profile-raising exercise for the academic librarians.
Kind regards,
Sharon

Reply-To: Leo Clarey <[log in to unmask]>
Dear List Members,
I’m calling to ask whether anyone out there has any has definite plans for inducting staff into their library services. It does not have to be just academic staff, but any staff members of your institutions / organisations; i.e. admin staff, facilities staff, technicians, etc. Any feedback on the activities you do and the procedures you follow would be of great interest.
Thank you all in advance. I will look forward to reading the responses.
Best wishes,
Leo Clarey
