Think about your most recent visit to the library, is there something that could have improved the experience or outcome? Would a partnership or other collaboration help advance your goals or lighten your load? Come tell us your story. We may be able to help. Use our assembled draft of anticipated directions and sample activities to find a niche for one of your ideas or the impetus to recommend an entirely new direction.
Broad campus input is needed to shape our efforts to create new research, instruction, and support opportunities and to build spaces, services, and collections that match community needs and expectations. We hope these conversations spark collaboration and purposeful partnerships to enhance our capacity to contribute to teaching and learning outcomes and success. Your time, attention, and input will ensure we are working as effectively as possible to help bring the new curriculum to life.
Please join us for conversation and refreshment at one of the following input sessions facilitated by our strategic consultant, Sam Demas. Help us spread the word, too. Bring a colleague - tell a friend.

For those who like to do a little background work, the draft of proposed strategic directions are a product of our recent self-study (summary and complete report are available here) and once complete, will focus our efforts and provide a framework for the next few years. Questions that might yield content for our conversation:
-
- Are these ideas on track with community needs?
- What projects or objectives would you like to see the library and archives attack over the next 2-3 years?
- Are you, your department, or program interested in a partnership with the library and archives?
- What projects would you like to work on with the library and archives?
