Supporting the Whole Person with Student Basic Needs Services [video replay]
On February 23, 2021 the ACRL University Libraries Section Professional Development Committee sponsored a presentation on supporting the whole person with student basic needs services. College students across the country are struggling to meet their basic needs while attending school, including facing housing, food, and fiscal insecurities. As information experts, library workers can play a critical role in connecting students to basic needs services on campus and in the community. In this presentation, a librarian and a student program coordinator discuss student basic needs services offered at a public university and how the library and library workers can partner in these crucial efforts.
Panelists included:
- Lana Mariko Wood, Health Sciences and Scholarly Communications Librarian at California State University, East Bay
- Darice Ingram, Pioneers for H.O.P.E. Coordinator at California State University, East Bay
The presentation slides are available for download. The session was moderated by Sam Harlow and Andrea Wright of the ULS Professional Development Committee. For a list of future and past programs, visit the Committee’s Programs Page.
