research.
This outreach initiative is aimed toward connecting with students, staff

“Whatever your situation, it's important to remember to reach out.
It's one thing to just sit in your information center and wait for people
to come and ask questions. But it's quite another to go out and offer
information to those who have not asked for it. That's the heart of
being proactive. That's the trick of serving people who didn't even
know how much they needed you. And it can be the key to staying in
business in this everything's-on-the-Internet-and-I-can-find-it-myself
world.”
So what are you waiting for? Don't just sit there—reach out and
educate someone.”
Miller, Kathy. At Arm’s Length. Retrieved May 26, 2009 from

It's one thing to just sit in your information center and wait for people to come and ask questions. But it's quite another to go out and offer information to those who have not asked for it. That's the heart of being proactive. That's the trick of serving people who didn't even know how much they needed you. And it can be the key to staying in business in this everything's-on-the-Internet-and-I-can-find-it-myself world.” So what are you waiting for? Don't just sit there—reach out and educate someone.” Miller, Kathy. At Arm’s Length. Retrieved May 26, 2009 from http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/olos/moreoutreach/additionallibrary.cfm
