- Does your library use an Advisory Group of any sort? If so, can you share some details about your group?
- We started on in the fall of 2019. It was helpful at time for a renovation project we have in the libraries. Undergraduate and graduate students had great feedback for this project.
- Students were asked to apply . We accepted nearly everyone, about 20 students. I think we met twice, once in the fall and again spring 2020 (before lockdowns). Food was provided both times.
- We haven't meet since; we're hoping to revive it in the near future.
- What has worked well / fallen flat?
- We had specific feedback we were looking for and since lockdowns, it hasn't been a priority.
- What do you see as the main benefits of having an Advisory Group?
- It was super helpful for the renovation project. I'd like to see it help give some direction for workshops / programs.
- If you do not use an Advisory Group, or have disbanded yours, what other ways do you get feedback from patrons?
- I'd say right now a lot of feedback is anecdotal. We're looking to have some surveys via qr codes near our busy areas. I'd also like to partner / meet with some student groups.

Subject: January Discussion Topic: Advisory Groups
Hello! As one of your new co-conveners (along with Megan Hodge and Susanna Cowan), I'd like to welcome you to a new year with the Assessment Discussion Group. Starting this month, we will have a monthly discussion topic to try and keep the group a bit more active. This is not intended to limit conversation to the monthly topic - please continue to post/share any topics that come up organically as well!
For January, our topic will be Advisory Groups.
