First, the speakers highlight the library’s part in advancing information literacy and critical thinking skills, in addition connecting scholars with resources that best suit their research needs. Next, they share opportunities to better integrate the library into the classroom, as well as guidance on alleviating library anxiety and establishing the library as a partner and resource to support campus stakeholders. Finally, the guests close with how libraries can better delegate tasks on student success among staff through data analytics and inclusive collaboration.
