Abstract
Abstract Faced with budgetary cuts and limited in-person visits due to the pandemic, a team at the Havighurst Special Collections and University Archives embarked on a storytelling campaign. Interviews with student assistants (employees) were published in multiple mediums on several social media platforms. This article outlines our process and the tools that kept us on task. Our goal was to spotlight the employable skills and how essential the students are to the Libraries’ success.
期刊介绍:
Public Services Quarterly covers a broad spectrum of public service issues in academic libraries, presenting practical strategies for implementing new initiatives and research-based insights into effective practices. The journal publishes research-based and theoretical articles as well as case studies that advance the understanding of public services, including reference and research assistance, information literacy instruction, access and delivery services, and other services to patrons. Articles may examine creative ways to use technology to assist students and faculty. Practice-based articles should be thoroughly grounded in the literature and should situate the work done in one library into the larger context of the situation.
