  • 1.  Survey Participation - Academic Library Outreach and Outreach Plans

    Posted Jun 17, 2024 09:43 AM

    Greetings!

    Apologies for cross-posting! My colleague and I would like to invite interested academic librarians to participate in our continued research project on student outreach activities and planning strategies. We are especially interested in those who use a formalized outreach plan to guide their work. The survey is based on the work published in 2023 (https://iopn.library.illinois.edu/journals/jloe/article/view/1188/989.
