RE: lib-ir: Sociology papers in Scholars' Bank

[Elizabeth Breakstone <ebreak@uoregon.edu>]

if no one in the soc department has expressed interest (except a grad 
student a few years ago), i'm not sure the best way to approach this. i'll 
try to figure out who might be interested in setting such a collection up, 
but no faculty members come to mind immediately. the library rep is not a 
likely candidate--he's hard to get a hold of and even if he'd be interested 
in SB in theory, i doubt he'd realistically have any time to devote to it. 
i think that if we were to create a sociology collection, we'd have to 
think creatively about what we'd put in there. maybe research data, though 
there might be some privacy/confidentiality issues with the qualitative 
stuff. but maybe people like Patty Gwartney would be interested.

there is a grad student in the Research Interest Group, Jonna, who had 
expressed interest in building a Soc Department collection. he mentioned 
that he was planning to attend a faculty meeting and propose a collection. 
I haven't heard back from him, so i'm assuming he hasn't done this yet. 
I'll check in with him to see what's going on with that.
