Information Services
Information Services is the first line of contact for many CDL programs and services, and an important resource for CDL’s users – including campus librarians, students, faculty, and the general public. On any given day, the Information Services team members may respond to feedback from several of CDL’s resources, make sure licensed content resources are up and running, write FAQs, or participate in QA testing. In addition, they make sure to stay in touch with the continuing information and communication needs of the various programs they serve.
