Session Time: 10:00- 11:00 AM
The goal of this presentation is to show how the library can support students and faculty in multiple ways– academically, socially, and emotionally. This presentation will explain methods to showcase the strengths of the library not only as an academic resource but also as a welcoming, comfortable space to study, learn, and collaborate. Emphasis will be placed on a variety of events that can be planned and hosted within the library and also planned by the library to be held elsewhere on campus. Librarians’ involvement in other campus outreach programs will also be discussed as a way to connect the library to the greater campus community. The presentation will also discuss the importance of measuring outreach program impact by developing goals, defining measurable outcomes, and evaluating them. Brainstorming and discussion among the participants will be encouraged so that everyone can listen to and hopefully pick up successful strategies to promote their libraries as a vital campus resource.

Speaker Bio(s):
I joined the John F. Moss library at Texas A&M University-Texarkana in June, 2022. Prior to this position, I worked locally as an attorney and have taught 5th-8th grades Language Arts, Latin, and History at a local Episcopal school, where I continue to teach Latin part-time. It’s wonderful to finally use my M.L.S. As Outreach and Instruction Librarian, I organize and promote library services and events to our campus community. I also teach database instruction and information literacy classes. I consider myself blessed to be part of a great library team that is committed to our students’ success.
