What is the Travel & Education Center?
The Travel & Education Center is the central place in the University Libraries for all travel, training, education, and faculty or staff interactions with their respective organizations. Since 2005 we have moved toward making all of our people and resources work more closely together and one way of doing this is by creating this center. It has been a multi-stage process to get to this point but we believe we have created a user-friendly and highly effective center that addresses all the needs of the library.
Library Faculty Association (LFA)
The purpose of the Library Faculty Association is to create an effective library faculty organization which can enter into a partnership for shared responsibility and cooperation among the library faculty, library administration, and library staff in order to promote the general welfare of the University Libraries.
Library Staff Association (LSA)
The University Libraries Staff Association at Virginia Tech (LSA) exists to serve the staff employees in a manner that leads to an improved work environment and fosters a positive dialogue between the staff and the administration of the University Libraries and the University as a whole.
Library Education &
Development (LED)
The Library Education and Development (LED) Program is an initiative that is supported by the University Libraries' Dean and administrative staff. The Education Office is organizationally part of the Research and Instructional Services Department but supports training for all library faculty and staff. The purpose of the program is to provide the employees of the University Libraries with opportunities to acquire new skills for currently held positions as well as for professional development.
