Let Your Curiosity Lead You to Effective Outreach
STEM Librarians South 2021

Abstract
Traditional library outreach usually focuses on getting folks to come to the library to hear what we think they need to know. Although some events using this approach can be successful, others are minimally attended - if anyone shows up at all. Prompted by some lunchtime conversations, our science librarians decided to let our curiosity about some of the specialized labs and other interesting places on campus lead us to scheduling unstructured field trips. Our visits focused on learning about our hosts, what they do, and ways we might support their efforts.
