Dr. Carrol Haggard, associate professor of communication studies, and Lynn Haggard, distance education services librarian at Fort Hays State University, recently published “Librarians on the Loose: High Tech and High Touch Research Assistance from Embedded Librarians” in the 43rd volume of the National Social Science Association Journal.

The article describes a pilot program at FHSU where librarians are “embedded” in on-campus social science courses that have a research component. In this model, the library is viewed as a service, not a space.

While traditional embedded librarians serve as a point of contact for providing research assistance, especially within online courses, FHSU expanded this model to incorporate FHSU’s “high tech, high touch” approach to education. “Librarians on the Loose” explains it as involving the use of the latest technology for research while emphasizing the human connection between librarians and students.

The article also examines the factors associated with the “High Tech, High Touch” model’s success and identifies some of the requirements to sustain the model.

“Living life without fear” is the theme for this year’s annual fashion show and brunch hosted by the Hays After 5 Christian Women’s Club, April 11 from 10 a.m. to noon at Smoky Hill Country Club, 3003 Hall.

Phyllis Stuart, After 5 publicity director, said the event features speaker Judy Lewis, Omaha Neb., who will offer advice on “living life chapter by chapter.”

“So often in life we are fearful of things,” Stuart said, “To relate my own story, I have been through cancer quite a bit and, of course you have fear, but at some point you put your trust in other people or your higher power.”

Though Stuart has been involved with After 5 for years, she was just appointed publicity director a few months ago.

She said her goal is to build awareness, adding she feels her biggest challenge is letting women know the 60-member group is non-denominational and serves as a source of support and networking for women to come together each month, discuss issues, have fun and support each other.

To reserve a seat for the fashion/show and brunch, call (785) 202-1036 by April 9.
