And I'll second the various comments about chatting it up with the faculty. This semester our librarians at Mesa Community College are doing a series of faculty workshops about the various different databases. Keep up the good fight!

I'm always bemused that we shy away from information literacy for faculty (not that they're ignorant - but they may appreciate the help with keeping up with new interfaces, tools, approaches) and that we don't spend more effort creating spaces and opportunities for faculty to sit down and share ideas about how to do information literacy in their courses. Those libraries that provide faculty development find it's far more effective for supporting the whole range of information literacy than the limited "can you meet my class next Wednesday and explain how to use X database?" collaboration. If we diverted 25% of the time we spend talking to other librarians about information literacy and spent it talking with faculty.... Amen.
