This session will offer the narrative of how one of the worst academic libraries re-defined itself by 'bridging' with other academic units to rethink the role of the academic library.
The presenter of this session will utilize a PowerPoint that will not only detail the physical changes that occurred in their campus library, but also the administrative changes that re-energized this underused campus resource. The session will begin with a basic history of the problems identified in preparation for SACSCOC reaffirmation, then detail best practices for the library’s transformation into an academic leraning center. In addition to a photographic journey of the process, the session will also include handouts for attendees and a period for them to create their own Plan for Change.
