Expanding the Role of Technical Services Librarians in Community Outreach: A Successful Program in Achieving Synergy

Abstract

In this article the authors describe an outreach program, consisting of an exhibition and three associated talks, initiated by the University Library to demonstrate how art can be extended to the community and tie in with the University Vision. Technical services librarians have worked closely in the planning, developing, and delivering of the program. The preparation process has engaged faculty from the fields of History and Visual Arts to support cross-disciplinary talks. Attempts were made to collect feedback from exhibition visitors and seminar participants. Results suggest that the program has provided a different kind of learning experience for librarians, faculty, students, and the community.
