Our goals • To communicate how we found a way to engage in campus-wide initiatives • To share how we made our services relevant to campus-wide SLOs • To provide you with ideas for how to make these changes at your university library, too!
BACKGROUNd • History with campus-wide initiatives • Getting librarians involved with campus-wide decision-making • Operation: Consider Information Literacy • What are SLOs, and how did we help create them?
REORGANIZATION • First of all, what is TLS? • What were we like before TLS? • Library-wide reorganization & construction • The birth of TLS • What does TLS do? • Creation of library-wide SLOs
THE FUTURE What is discourse? How are we involved? How did we get involved?

TIPS • Be alert to campus trends – know what’s going on • Especially regarding broad campus curriculum and research initiatives • Get on the committees • If not invited, ask and make your case • If not appointed, ask if you can attend meetings anyway • If you can’t attend, how can you get updates, meeting minutes, etc. • Listen carefully when it doesn’t involve the library • You’ll learn a lot of other stuff that you can use • Speak up when it does involve the library, information literacy • Speak up if information literacy is being ignored • Make contact with individuals appointed in charge of new initiatives • Make yourself/your face/your name/your goals known
