PDA Series: Framing Our Value: “Selling” Research and Instruction Services Through Meaningful Faculty Outreach

Building strong relationships with faculty is key to expanding the library’s instructional reach but it takes more than a well-timed email. Join us for a practical webinar focused on approaches, strategies, and success stories for effective faculty outreach.

You'll learn how to identify instructional opportunities, craft compelling messages, and use scalable tools to build partnerships that lead to meaningful, course-integrated library instruction. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to reinvigorate your outreach efforts, this session will offer actionable tips and inspiration.

 

Learning Objectives:

 

  1. Identify key opportunities for integrating library instruction into academic courses through faculty collaboration.
  2. Develop compelling outreach messages that clearly communicate the value of research and instruction services.
  3. Apply scalable outreach strategies and tools to build and sustain faculty partnerships.
