EBSS Communication Studies Committee

Charge

To provide a space for the Communications Studies community of librarians (including those serving the areas of communications, media studies, advertising, speech communications, broadcasting, journalism and public relations). Goals for the Committee include identifying best practices and electronic resources useful to those in the community as well as addressing current issues that are salient to the advancement of the field. In regard to electronic resources, the committee will assess and evaluate resources for usability and function; encourage the development of resources within communication studies through vendor feedback and inform and educate librarians about new resources. Activities of the committee will include evaluation and discussion of resources and services, updating the Communications Studies website, development of activities and programs to improve skills among librarians, and the coordination of liaison activities with other professional organizations as appropriate.
