Presentation Description

Presented by a Reference Librarian and a Director of Library Services, this presentation will address ways, both instructional and administrative, to reach students and faculty/staff when library staff is limited. Suggestions include collaborating with faculty for in-library workshops on topics of interest to students, seeking out industry-related databases in addition to traditional research databases, utilizing and introducing students to resources like Pachyderm, Zotero and Google documents, getting involved in other departments' strategic planning, and more.
