Otterbein University is a small liberal arts college undergoing academic changes and increased diversity. Courtright Memorial Library is experiencing declining usage statistics but high traffic. It seeks to increase information literacy instruction for students by partnering with teaching faculty, but faces challenges like limited space and staff and faculty indifference. Example strategies presented include redesigning the library portal interface and holding an event with the university president to gain administrative support. The goal is to improve navigation, traffic and usage of library resources on campus.
