ASERL developed this guide as a means of building stronger relationships among our members and to help guide visitors to ASERL institutions to some really good places to enjoy tasty barbecue.<\/p>\n<h2>What do Librarians Know about Barbecue?<\/h2>\n<p>Librarians by training must be excellent judges of quality, to select the best information resources for their collections and users. The ability to discern better from best can be used in many aspects of daily life, including selecting good sources for barbecue. While there may be some good-natured disagreements about the selections, we are confident no one is better skilled than librarians to make these difficult choices<\/p>\n<h2>Project Team<\/h2>\n<p>Kevin Merriman, University of Memphis \u2013 Project Co-Chair<br \/>\nRyan Speer, Georgia Tech \u2013 Project Co-Chair<br \/>\nJason Battles, University of Alabama<br \/>\nEleanor Cook, East Carolina University<br \/>\nLauren Corbett, Wake Forest University<br \/>\nPam Dennis, University of Memphis<br \/>\nWally Grotophorst, George Mason University<br \/>\nAndy Huse, University of South Florida<br \/>\nPeggy Kain, UAB<br \/>\nLynda Kellam, UNC Greensboro<br \/>\nJulie Shedd, Mississippi State University<br \/>\nEira Tansey, Tulane University<br \/>\nJohn Ulmschneider, Virginia Commonwealth University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About ASERL Founded in 1956, the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries is the largest regional academic library cooperative in the country, with 40 members in 11 states.
