“…In many ways, our experience is not dissimilar from those who have explored the facets of outreach before us. Partnerships are key (Lopez, 2018;Hanna, Cooper, and Crumrin, 2011;Walker, 2017). Messaging is important (Lopez, 2018, Blummer & Kenton, 2019Walker, 2017).…”

“…For both Goodsett and Dougan and Schnabel, Billeaudeaux, and Behles, collaboration and marketing are highlighted as two key aspects of a successful LibGuide aimed towards community outreach. The theme of collaborative partnerships also recurs in many of the case studies on outreach to individual communities (Lopez, 2018;Hanna, Cooper, and Crumrin, 2011;Walker, 2017). The focus on collaborative partnerships also informed our own approach to LibGuides design as we sought out partnerships with other organizations on campus who could provide us with feedback or a better understanding of the research needs of the individuals whom they represented.…”

In the fall of 2022, the authors created a series of three LibGuides for the Ezra Lehman Memorial Library about LGBTQ+, disabled, and Indigenous communities. These LibGuides served both as resources for academic research and as outreach tools to the communities represented in the guides. In this paper, we discuss the creation process behind these guides, how these guides were used as outreach tools, and the collaborative programming which resulted from the creation of these guides. In addition, we discuss ways in which our LibGuides outreach efforts can be framed within larger discussions about the role of outreach in libraries and the ways in which other libraries can use LibGuides as outreach.

“…Although insider/outsider status for researchers has been explored in depth, the relationship between insider status and the efficacy of academic outreach activities is a new area to explore. Within libraries, outreach is an increasingly important topic, as librarians endeavor to engage students and ensure that they are familiar with library resources (e.g., Hanna, Cooper, & Crumrin, 2011;Smallwood, 2010;Westbrook & Waldman, 1993). But the relationship between insider/outsider status and library outreach is unclear.…”

Veterans are a unique population that can be found in libraries across the United States. Libraries of all types are developing new approaches to the veterans in their patron populations in the wake of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This study identifies several common strategies that libraries, especially public and academic libraries, are employing to support their patrons who are veterans, as well as distinctions in strategy according to library type. It further explores whether libraries are relying upon library staff who are veterans when developing services and programming for patrons who are veterans.

“…5 Hanna, Cooper, and Crumrin write about creating a diversity council and the initiatives and programming that came from their strategic plan for diversity, but provide no detailed information on the creation of the actual diversity plan. 6 Grob notes the development of a diversity action plan for the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of ACRL but her article, while providing more details in plan development than others, nonetheless is not directed towards academic libraries and is not explicitly written as a template for those wishing to create their own plans. 7 Jody Gray, the Diversity Outreach Librarian at the University of Minnesota Libraries, addresses the importance of diversity plans, creating a framework for building a diversity plan housed on the American Library Association website.…”

Diversity Plans for Academic Libraries: An Example from the University of Montana

In 2009 the University of Montana (UM) began revising the university’s diversity plan. The plan immediately established that diversity efforts at UM would be the responsibility of both the central administration and the various subunits of the institution. Colleges and schools, including the Mansfield Library, were committed under the new plan to create diversity plans of their own. This paper details the process the library undertook to draft that plan, including forming a work group; creating action items, goals, and strategic choices; and building consensus. It also highlights progress made towards implementing the plan since its inception.
