Event Overview
College and university libraries have traditionally used student workers in clerical roles, shelving books, checking out items, etc. but as libraries seek new ways to engage with their student populations this role is expanding. Word of mouth is a proven way to do successful outreach and students are often more comfortable getting help from their peers. This workshop will discuss ways in which libraries are enlisting student help, either through work study jobs, internships or volunteer work, to provide outreach and engagement.
Attendees will hear from other librarians who have had student involvement in engagement and outreach efforts. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to share ideas and experiences.
Session outcomes:
- Learn what librarians in academic libraries in the region are doing to increase the role of student workers in the library.
- Explore and evaluate different methods of involving students in engagement and outreach.
- Develop a plan for involving students in engagement and outreach at your library.
