Kathryn Andrews is leading Library Liaison for the new CHCH 101 Rebuilding Christchurch course on offer this semester. This is an exciting new offering in the UC schedule and one of the positive outcomes of the response to the earthquake crisis we find ourselves in.
You may have seen the course featured in The Press a couple of weekends ago – CHCH101: Rebuilding Christchurch – An Introduction to Community Engagement in Tertiary Studies

Billy O’Steen, who is well known to many Library staff, is the course co-ordinator.
The course is offered in semester 2 and again in summer school 2011-12 for up to 500 students. It represents an opportunity to showcase Library support for Learning and Teaching at UC. Library support will require a collaborative effort which so far involves Kathryn Andrews, Kerry Gilmour – Human Services aspects, Alison Johnston – Geological Science aspects, Macmillan Brown Library team – Christchurch Heritage and Community Engagement, and Education Liaison Librarians Caroline Syddall, Ariana Tikao and Margaret Paterson.
