Now that we’re fully staffed, we have officially changed the name of the Core Reference Team to the Terrell Research and Instruction Team. (RIG, the Research and Instruction Group, is the broader committee that incorporates branch library, circulation, and distinctive collections staff who also teach or assist patrons with research.)
