ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH, LEARNING & TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
The Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library welcomes Terrence Martin, who heads the Research, Learning, and Technology Services Department. He reports directly to the Library Director & CEO, Dr. Kimberley Bugg.
Terrence is originally from Laurinburg, North Carolina, and is a recent transplant to Georgia. He joined the Woodruff staff as the Assistant Director of Research, Learning, and Technology Services. He has worked in librarianship for 13 years. He is a proud HBCU alumnus, having attended North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University and obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Social Work/Sociology. He later attended North Carolina Central University, where he received his Master’s degree in Library Information Science.
His research interests encompass both synchronous and asynchronous online instruction, with a focus on how library instruction can engage students and faculty online. "I am also fascinated by the intersection of library management and change management theory,
particularly how strategic changes within library operations can enhance service delivery, user experience, and adaptability in rapidly evolving information landscapes," he says. This includes exploring effective methodologies for leading change initiatives, understanding the role of technology in facilitating change and investigating the impact of organizational culture on the success of change management strategies in library settings.
Terrence is excited about the prospect of collaborating with the staff and students of AUC Woodruff Library. He aims to contribute to the library's mission by fostering a dynamic, inclusive environment supporting academic excellence and innovation.
Beyond his professional interests, Terrence is an avid gamer, a hobby that allows him to explore immersive virtual worlds. He also finds solace in fishing, a pastime that helps him unwind and connect with nature.
On a more hands-on note, he is deeply passionate about restoring his classic BMW 740i, a project that allows him to bring its vintage charm back to life.
