Introducing Seyvion Scott, First-Year Experience Librarian

With the fall semester well underway, we here in the MCC Libraries would like to introduce you to our new librarian, Seyvion Scott, who joined us on September 6. As the first-year experience librarian, Seyvion is here to help advance the library's role in student learning, partner with others in the MCC community in improving students' first year experience, and facilitate undergraduate research via a variety of instructional strategies.

Seyvion graduated from the University of Rochester with a B.A. in African & African-American Studies, and received her M.S. in Information Science from the University at Albany. Prior to coming to MCC, she was the first-year experience and instruction librarian at Medaille College in Buffalo.  

We asked Seyvion a few questions about herself and her aspirations for this position:

What goals/hopes do you have for getting started as our new First-Year Experience Librarian?

As the new First-Year Experience Librarian, my goals are to support the academic and career success of our students by meeting with them one on one for research help appointments and being inside the classroom to teach information literacy and how to do research using the library's databases and collections.

How has your prior experience prepared you for this role at MCC? 

My prior experience in a similar position at another college has prepared me for this role because I created and taught my very own First-Year Experience Library seminar this past summer for summer bridge students. My four-week seminar taught students how to navigate the library's website to find scholarly resources and also showed them how to conduct effective searches using filters, boolean operators, and the advanced search feature.

We're thrilled Seyvion joined us in our mission to support out students, so please join us in welcoming her to MCC, or even better say hello when you see her around campus.
