Who am I?
What do I (we) do?
Outreach Librarian- “enhancing library services and access to academic resources through extensive outreach, instruction and reference activities…build strong relationships and serves as an ambassador from the library to the Union University community.”
Framing Outreach
Library as Place- “the aim is to create comfortable, lively, and active spaces where students can interact with each other, with information and with technology”
Library Services- “the aim should not be to replace in-person interactions and the relationships that are built through them”
Library on the Web- “Libraries need to embed their resources and expertise into the systems and tools students and faculty use in their daily lives”
