  6. Origin & Purpose • Tied to goals: • Short term: create an active consultation and education program • Long term: be the campus authority on scholarly communication and publishing • To increase the Scholarly Communication Program's visibility • To just be available to do presentations wasn't enough • To have a way to track the presentations we were doing as a result of general outreach - tabling, programs, responding to OA Fund questions, and good old fashion liaison work • To address the problem of low attendance at drop-in sessions and programs; if they won't come to us, we'll go to them

  7. Implementation • Outreach Department helpedto develop branding and publicity - the flyer, the webform, website and easy to use URL; campus wide email announcement sent • Be flexible! For example, when French & Italian dept. requested three presentations, but limited me to 30 minutes • librarians can complete the request form for their departments • longer presentations are available upon request • Response & Feedback • conducted 3 sessions between April and May (FRIT; Sociology; Office of Research) • One librarian announced the program at a faculty meeting that she attended, and was pleased to be able to show and leave the flyer • Fall outreach plans: info at Library Open House, Library newsletter article, emails from liaison librarians, Open Access Week programs and tabling, OA Policy implementation tie-in
