However, as attendance at the workshop fell, the sessions were canceled. To revive interest, we found inspiration in a summer program we offer – the Faculty Research Marathon – when the library is reserved for faculty research and writing. Supplementing the Marathon format with information useful for faculty, we rebranded our workshops as a Research Sprint, with each session providing focused work time after a brief presentation about library resources. The PDI was successfully implemented, and sign-up numbers were high. Feedback was positive, with suggestions including a library tour for new faculty, handouts, and shortening the presentation time. Participants also requested resources to help track research and information on leveraging social media for research sharing.Item The Archival Record and the Early Development of Higher Education in Florida: Florida Southern College(2022-05-11) Schaad, GerrianneIn 1845, just after Florida became the 27th US state, institutions of higher learning began develop, and the relationship between these state colleges and universities are intertwined, as are the archives that tell their stories. With a focus on materials related to individual institutional development, Schaad speaks to the connectedness of Florida Southern College, founded in 1885, with the University of Florida, Florida State University, Rollins College, and Stetson University.Item Using a Rare Book Exhibit as an Interactive Community Engagement Opportunity(2019-02) Schaad, GerrianneNew methods of teaching, the proliferation of online information, and a call for universities and colleges to demonstrate value has created an environment that challenges higher education institutions to communicate their continued relevance. These cultural shifts have been felt deeply by traditional campus services such as libraries. Long gone are the days when libraries exist merely on the goodwill of campus administrators and the fond memory of the book stacks. Libraries now must justify their relevance to student success, and librarians are responding to these requirements by both designing new services and adapting traditional models for a new era. As libraries adapt, it is vital that they continually communicate their value to users and key campus stakeholders. Outreach is a way for libraries to promote their services, demonstrate value by engaging with stakeholders, and show their usefulness and relevance in today's modern academe to create a narrative of value and relevance. Librarians must think strategically about designing programs that speak both to the library's mission and that of the university as a whole. By aligning outreach programs with strategic campus priorities, libraries can demonstrate the value of their contributions to the larger campus audience. Four key concepts are frequently proposed as cornerstones on which outreach activities should be built: learning more about our users, enhancing our image, promoting awareness of Library materials, and educating people. Gerrianne Schaad of the McKay Archives (Florida Southern College) curated a traveling collection of rare books and documents, and collaborated with fellow librarians and teaching faculty to create outreach and educational tools to provide students with hands-on and engaged learning opportunities.
