Abstract

Abstract Library service points continue to be one of the few places for in-person contact where patrons can freely ask questions, including those involving technology. This is especially true in the college setting. Recognition of this need led to the creation of a hands-on Tech Academy for first-year, first-generation college students. When the pandemic hit, it became necessary to take the Academy online and expand it to the wider University student body. This article outlines the process used to rapidly develop, implement, and assess this technology mini-course. In addition, it considers the sustainability of such a program beyond the pandemic environment.

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.
