Authors planned an instructional session to introduce child care staff members to library resources, focusing on the curriculum collection as a source of supplemental materials for classrooms. Surveys were administered before and after the workshop to gauge changes in participants' awareness of library resources and comfort level using the library. Results based on descriptive statistics and qualitative data indicated a significant increase in participants’ awareness of and comfort using campus library resources and services. The authors encourage similar efforts within other academic communities and provide examples of potential partnerships.  \nIntroduction  \nOutreach is a common mission of academic libraries. One of the primary goals of academic public services librarians is to introduce and market library resources and services to a variety of campus and community users. Julie Beth Todaro notes that outreach “has historically meant identifying, locating, and reaching out to serve typically eligible clients or patrons but non-users.”(2005, p. 139) Todaro’s statement succinctly sums up the activity shared in this case study. The authors sought out one such group of University employees, campus childcare center staff. As University employees, they are eligible to use the library resources, but most of the staff was unaware of this benefit and of the relevant resources available.  \nThese childcare workers play a vital role in the lives of the 145 Texas A & M University student, faculty, and staff parents who utilize their services to provide care for their children in the conveniently located on campus childcare facility. Texas A&M University, the sixth-largest university in the United States with over 50,000 students, counts itself as a provider of an on-campus child care and a preschool program. [According to the latest data available, 57% of public four-year postsecondary and 49% of two-year schools have campus-based children’s centers. (Miller, Gault & Thorman, 2011)] Additionally, the Texas A&M University Libraries isone of over 200 college and university libraries to house a curriculum materials center (Directory of Curriculum Materials Centers, 2009) . This descriptive study explores a library outreach effort to promote the Libraries to the staff members who work at the on-campus child care facility.  \nReview of the Literature  \nProviding services and resources to campus child care center workers meets the outreach and instruction missions ofthe academic library. Yet, a search of the literature revealed few documented examples of outreach efforts in this domain. While the topics of academic library outreach and instruction are often discussed in library literature, the primary recipients of these services are enrolled students, teaching faculty, external or community constituents, and less often general university non-teaching staff and employees.  \nStudent and Faculty Outreach  \nIn a detailed survey based article examining over 20 academic library outreach initiatives staged from 2009- 2011, Dennis (2012) found that librarians persisted in a broad range of activities under the outreach umbrella. These activities were aimed at student populations, as well as faculty. At least one of the efforts mentioned focused on collaboration with a student group. Other scholars and practitioners have focused wholly on creating outreach programs on campus by collaborating with student-led groups and organizations and student  \nEducation Libraries, Volume 36, Number 2, Winter 2013  \naffairs divisions (Johnson, Clapp, Ewing, & Buhler, 2011; Swartz, Carlisle, & Uyeki, 2007; Crowe, 2010; Cummings, 2007; Walter & Eodice, 2005; Anderson, 2010; Griffin, 2000; Forrest","cbCaicOFk9DctueV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicOFk9DctueV","pdf",192186,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Review of the Literature\n## Student and Faculty Outreach\n## Other Academic Library Outreach Efforts","[{\"question\":\"What was the main goal of the library outreach effort described in the case study?\",\"answer\":\"To introduce campus childcare center staff to academic library resources, with emphasis on using the curriculum collection for classroom supplemental materials.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the authors measure changes after the instructional workshop?\",\"answer\":\"They administered surveys before and after the workshop to assess changes in participants’ awareness of library resources and their comfort level using the library.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results indicate about participants’ awareness and comfort?\",\"answer\":\"Descriptive statistics and qualitative data showed a significant increase in both participants’ awareness of and comfort using campus library resources and services.\"}]","Library Outreach: Introducing Campus Childcare Providers to the Academic Library - Case Study | PDF",1792093224,33]
