Williams described the significance of Bishop’s assignment. “NC 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.�

As a member library with NC LIVE, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb has access to over 80 databases. Content includes an online collection of 1.8 billion full-text articles, eBooks, streaming videos, digitized newspapers, language learning tools, and more. Additionally, NC LIVE provides authentication, discovery and website services to libraries to improve access to information.

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’s 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.

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