Project poster

Texas Tech University's User-Center Services Department wants to begin collaborating with students regarding their collection development efforts. Librarians are working to find gaps in the collection and make purchases, but they want to explore more ways to work together with students and better understand their needs. The goal of this project is to create a basic, easy-to-use guide that will help library staff begin the engagement process with students. The plan includes an outreach roadmap, examples of how to engage with different student groups, examples of surveys, and a social media campaign.
