BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擠r. Natalie Bishop, dean of 海角网鈥檚 Dover Library, has been named to an advisory committee for NC LIVE, the statewide library cooperative. Her appointment was made by A. Hope Williams, president of North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities (NCICU).

Williams described the significance of Bishop鈥檚 assignment. 鈥淣C LIVE is an important resource to the 36 independent colleges and universities in North Carolina, and the independent sector serves as an important partner in the overall state effort. In that vein, NCICU has appointees to the committees that carry out the major work of NC LIVE.鈥�

Bishop is grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Continuing Education and Training Advisory Committee (CETAC). She will offer input and feedback on the planning and assessment processes related to NC LIVE鈥檚 professional development program, such as in-person training sessions, and online tutorials and webinars. The CETAC assists the NC Live Librarians Council by presenting it with recommendations and priorities for all professional development opportunities offered by NC LIVE.

鈥淧rofessional development for librarians and faculty is something I鈥檓 genuinely passionate about鈥攁nd being able to help guide and support colleagues across the region through the CETAC team is exciting,鈥� Bishop asserted. 鈥淧roviding high-quality, free development opportunities is essential if we want to think creatively, problem-solve effectively, and keep pushing innovation in our field. I鈥檓 really looking forward to being part of that work.鈥�
