Two new Science & Math Liaison Librarians developed an encompassing outreach strategy. The presenters put down roots in the College of Science & Math and a peer tutoring center to cultivate strong foundations for growing intentional cross-campus relationships beyond the library.
Embedded office hours, creative communication, new instruction strategies, and collaborating with first-year students all played a role in this work.
The presenters will share outreach successes and roadblocks and plans for moving these partnerships forward in year two. Participants will generate ideas for creatively expanding outreach efforts to academic departments and other student support offices on their own campuses.
Participants will be able to:
- recognize the successes and challenges of developing an instructional liaison librarian outreach program in order to inform their own programming.
- reflect on their own outreach strategies in order to develop new instructional partnerships across campus.
