Makerere University Library WorkshopPresenters:Paula Smith

THE LIBRARY IN TRANSITION Since the advent of the Internet the
library has become one of the most transformed departments on most campuses. It may look very much the same on the outside, but the resources and services have been and continue to be significantly altered.
- Patricia Senn Breivik,Higher Education in the Internet Age
REASONS WHY OUTREACH IS NEEDED Declining level of budgetary support Increased competition from other
sources of information, such as the Internet
Changes in educational system Changes in information technology
BENEFITS OF OUTREACH To better serve your communities, faculty, staff,
and student populations To increase the visibility of the library and promote
its value To encourage greater use of the print and electronic
resource collections To promote the services offered by the staff (i.e.
instruction, interlibrary loans, etc.) To increase the return on investment (ROI) in library
research databases and other library materials
BENEFITS OF LIBRARY (CONT.) To develop relationships and key
supporters for good times and times of crisis
To build a reputation as a library connected to its internal and external communities
