Many academic librarians focus their attention on course-integrated instruction, credit-bearing classes, and drop-in workshops. However, the academic library can partner with other campus units or organizations for informal learning opportunities that fulfill the mission of the library. Hybrid lectures, panel discussions, hands-on activities, and associated asynchronous content (videos, podcasts, modules, and more) expand access beyond the traditional academic library audience to the general public. Benefits of a robust public programming service in an academic library include positive experiences for audiences, greater campus and community visibility, and the reclamation of the library as the center of campus intellectual life. A vibrant, engaged library is also attractive to donors and potential development. This presentation discusses the creation of an Articulate module on the history of Title IX at Georgia Tech. The module was made in partnership of the Public Programming, Archives, Public Services and Academic Engagement units within the Library.

Join Georgia Tech Astronomer Jim Sowell and Research Services and Instruction Archivist Alison Reynolds to explore Sir Isaac Newton’s Principia & Opticks. You’ll get a virtual look at the Georgia Tech Archives copies of Newton’s Principia, which established the modern science of dynamics and serves as the basis for the modern study of physics, and Opticks, which provided our modern understanding of light and color. Participants discussed intersections between rare books and science and why these works are pivotal to our current understanding of physics and astronomy.
