Abstract
What can a medium-sized academic library accomplish in terms of campus outreach? The David L. Rice Library at the University of Southern Indiana focuses its outreach activities in three major areas: events and promotions, such as Banned Books Week and Blind Date With A Book; dedicated spaces within the library, such as the Information Wall and display cases on each floor; and partnerships between the library and other departments on campus. We hope to reach more students and potential patrons, to help individuals and campus groups feel more comfortable with the library and its staff, and to promote reading as well as increase literacy. This article will detail the library’s outreach activities, the creation of a committee to support related goals, outreach, the outreach process, and approaches along with ideas for forming partnerships with other on-campus entities.
