Building Solid Ground: a Pilot Survey of the Challenges and Strategies for Networking as an Online MSLIS Graduate Student 
The growing prevalence of online MSLIS programs make it possible for many students to pursue degrees in information and library science that would have otherwise been impeded by a variety of factors. However, these entirely online programs also pose to students unique challenges for establishing themselves in the field. This poster will report the results of a small survey of online MSLIS graduate students regarding successful strategies for overcoming these professional development barriers.

Claiming Space: Leading Community-Centered Change
Using intentional community building, inclusive collection development principles, and facilitated conversations about values and space, this poster will outline how one library has sought to support community-centered change. By focusing on the relationship students have to library spaces, we were able to partner with student communities to create authentic engagement, supporting a cartonera collection highlighting Undocumented/DACA student voices and a collective engagement agreement addressing the gaps between the library’s stated and lived values.

Finding Your Event Formula: Using Data-Driven Assessment to Refine Planning and Promotion (Handout)
Rethinking academic library programming after returning to campus has not been without challenge. This poster provides details on the assessment analyses conducted on the 2021 Libraries Skills Week event and how the insights informed future event and marketing strategies. We hope that our findings will provide the tools for librarians to undertake their own event assessments as they explore how to meet the changing needs of their communities to find balance in the new normal.

From Junk Drawers to Desk Drawers: Partnership to Meet Student Needs and Reduce Waste of Office Supplies  
In 2022 there were over 200 requests from students for basic office supplies. The library partnered with the sustainability office to collect office supplies during move-out week to supply students in an open cabinet adjacent to the service desk. This project destigmatizes the process of asking for supplies by making them openly accessible, decreases work time dedicated to the distribution and collection of supplies, reduces waste, and helps students get the basic supplies they need.

How to Access Michigan Supreme Court Records & Briefs Online
Briefs, motions and other pleadings in cases heard by the Michigan Supreme Court are now accessible online. For over a decade, the Court has posted current pleadings on its website. More recently, a grant-funded digitization project changed the research landscape by providing online access to substantial print collections of 19th and 20th century pleadings. This poster offers tips and strategies for finding current and historical pleadings effectively.

The Lived Experiences of Women Academic Library Deans with Workplace Networking: A Phenomenological Study
Explore the workplace networking experiences of women library deans. This poster will highlight how the study participants’ social identities influenced their workplace networking experiences. Workplace networking skills are essential for librarians in all jobs, at all levels, and from all demographic backgrounds. Although this study focused on women library deans, all library employees regardless of their job or interest in leadership would benefit from developing effective workplace networks within their libraries and institutions.
