Description
The Information Literacy and Outreach (ILO) department at the University of Central Florida has gone beyond the traditional outreach model to also target specific on-campus partners who work with faculty and students. These partnerships have fostered many opportunities for librarians to teach in online and face-to-face classes. This lightning-round style session will discuss the various projects and instruction opportunities that have resulted from our alternative outreach methods. The 45 minute session will be broken into 3-5 minute descriptions and demonstrations of the various projects, and will include information on how we have evaluated and modified these partnerships over time. Attendees will be able to map out potential outreach targets, develop strategies to gain useful information about partners, identify mutually beneficial projects, and create an action plan that distributes the workload amongst their library team.
