Engagement, Effectiveness & Efficiency: Energize Your Personal Librarian Program

Abstract

Miami University Libraries created a Personal Librarian program to supplement our liaison system in support of student success and information literacy advancement. Our program was designed to integrate into university curriculum and build toward connections with subject librarians. The program was designed to be efficient by use of a project management tool and to be assessed by mostly existing data. Participants can expect to learn how a Personal Librarian program can be integrated into a first-year university course, how to utilize a project management tool to administer a program, and methods for assessment. Our target audience includes those who want to start a program or improve their program with new ideas and methods of assessment.
