Emerging Library Trends in FYE: New Ideas for Impacting Student Success (ACRL/Credo webinar)

From FYE to ROI to HIP, librarians are seeing new acronyms emerge in their campus administrations' initiatives. How can today's academic libraries position themselves to improve student success and retention, using high-impact practices (HIPs) to demonstrate a return-on-investment (ROI)? Many libraries struggle to define and implement their services in a way that meets these shifting expectations. However, new ideas, resources, and partnerships offer a path forward in support of these efforts.

First year student success librarian Raymond Pun will discuss strategies, activities, and programs presented in The Credo FYE Guide: Practices for Enhancing Instructions (an open access publication by Credo Reference) to support these trends. Through information literacy, student engagement, collaboration, assessment, and library orientations, these services can enrich the experiences of first year and incoming students. Attendees will gain valuable insights including how they can leverage, optimize, and maximize resources and services for success.

ACRL president-elect Lauren Pressley will provide opening remarks on the importance of showcasing the library's value, and the role assessment can play when marketing the library's services and resources to the broader campus community.
