Title: Library Outreach During COVID-19
Presenter: Valerie Moore, Prairie State College
Description: During the 2020-2021 academic year, the Prairie State College Library was only open by appointment. While we knew that faculty, staff, and students were overextended in their personal and professional lives, we wanted to continue offering programming and communications to showcase our work. This presented a unique opportunity to experiment with fully digital programming. We did so with low expectations and had mixed results. This presentation will cover what we did, what worked, what didn't, and how we intend to continue working with our students remotely, even now that the building is open again.
December 7th at 10 AM
