SUMMARY:FLVC/PDA Series: Co-Creating a Student-Centered Research Support Service
DESCRIPTION:Description: Join Bekky and Hannah in their presentation about 
 co-creating a user-centered research support service led by student 
 experience. By expanding access to research support and investing in 
 student leadership opportunities for undergraduate learners\, this 
 high-impact practice is one approach that librarians at the University of 
 Minnesota Duluth have taken to involve student stakeholders in crafting a 
 service for and by them. \n\nAttendees will learn about the importance of 
 centering users in service creation\, with an emphasis on the voices and 
 perspectives of those who don’t have a formal background in library 
 work\, and the opportunities of embracing unexpected pivots in service 
 planning and design. \n\n \n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBekky
