Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentationpeer-review

Abstract

This presentation will describe how one academic library reset their engagement priorities and reconnected with their audience with the use of remote outreach programs. Over the course of one academic year, library staff created, hosted, and assessed more than a dozen asynchronous remote outreach programs for students and faculty, including many who never stepped foot on campus. Attendees will learn how to coordinate efforts within their organization and think outside the box for ways to promote their collections and resources for an online audience.

Presented at the Florida Library Association Conference 2022 May 24, 2022 at 9am in Ponte Vedra, FL.
