    “’You have my sword.’ ‘You have my bow.’ ‘And my axe.’: Creating a popular reading collection through interdepartmental collaboration
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-06) Freeman, John Mack ; Manci, Catherine ; Cruz, Sarah ; Sheldon, Kimberly
    In Spring 2021, the Georgia Tech Library received unexpectedly robust support for the redevelopment of the Library's previously removed Popular Reading Collection. The project had a strict four-month deadline to encumber funds and to ensure that materials were available before the Fall 2021 return to campus. A cross-functional team was established to create and implement a plan to achieve this goal. The successful project resulted in widespread positive feedback from students, Institute partners and leaders, and Library leadership. This case study demonstrates the importance of context in deciding library projects, the utility of cross-functional teams in establishing new collections, and the psychological value of physical materials to campus communities.

    Teaching Outside the Classroom: Informal Instruction in the Academic Library
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-03) Manci, Catherine ; Holdsworth, Liz ; McGee, Alex
    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.
