With over 70 TRiO programs in colleges throughout Ohio, there is a tremendous opportunity to develop connections between academic library staff and first-generation college students and to impact student success. During this session, presenters will discuss collaborations between library staff and TRiO programs at two institutions. One regional campus incorporated the SSS program into the library’s space, directly impacting student success. The other community college’s SSS program provided space for a “Librarian on Location,” which allows SSS students to meet library staff on their own turf and for collaboration between library and SSS staff. Presenters will discuss the partnerships’ impact on student success, logistics of these collaborations, and future plans. Learning Outcomes: Examine the collaborations described in this session in order to adapt and apply them to other settings and institutions. Identify similar collaboration opportunities at the home campus of audience members in order to impact student success and increase library value. http://hdl.handle.net/2374.MIA/6277 http://hdl.handle.net/2374.MIA/6273 Secrets to Our Success: Thoughts from the Buckeye State on Leading an Academic Library Organization McDonald, Krista Slide for a keynote address on leadership at the MiALA annual board leadership retreat. http://hdl.handle.net/2374.MIA/6273 http://hdl.handle.net/2374.MIA/6190 A Powerful Partnership: Incorporating TRiO Student Support Services into the Library's Space to Impact Student Success Girton, Carrie; McDonald, Krista; Viars, Jamie This session will discuss the logistics of incorporating the TRiO Student Support Services (SSS) program into the library's space. When our institution was awarded a five-year, $1.2 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Education for the TRiO SSS program, the library was a top choice for collaboration and sharing space. Our appraisal of the effectiveness of the program to date will focus on the effects the location has on student success. We will share video clips of interviews with students in the program describing their experiences as regular library users and TRiO SSS program participants. We will also discuss changes and enhancements that we will be making that will benefit both the TRiO program and other library users. http://hdl.handle.net/2374.MIA/6190
