Steve Lawson's blog: "the Humanities Liaison Librarian for Tutt Library at Colorado College, Colorado Springs. I work with the faculty of the Humanities Division to do collection development in those subjects; I teach bibliographic instruction for humanities classes; and I work with humanities faculty when they have questions about using the library or library policy. General reference duty at the ref. desk is also part of my job. Beyond that, I am interested in using the web to bring better, more useful, and more usable services to our students and faculty."
