Item Adding Some Bam! Pow! Boom! To Your Outreach with Comics(2019) Martin, John Edward; Griffith, Bobby; Condrey, CobyThis roundtable discussion will cover aspects of outreach with comics and graphic novels collections in an academic setting. Comics are lurking throughout libraries—in dedicated comic collections but also in government documents, rare or special collections, music collections, and media collections. Over the past two years, UNT Libraries has engaged its patrons and the wider community through education, outreach, and collection development initiatives using comics and graphic novels as the focus of conversation. Library staff have a comics studies reading group and blog, collaborate with faculty to produce programs, host events and exhibits, maintain social media channels, and routinely recommend and acquire additions to the collection. These efforts have provided a means to keep momentum energetic and discussions active that support teaching, learning and research using materials that may be relatively new to academic audiences.Item Subject-Based Collection Evaluation: Context, Assessment Strategies, & Enhancement(2019) Crawford, Laurel; Harker, Karen; Condrey, CobyThis panel discussion will review the way collection development librarians at UNT have designed ongoing assessment and augmentation of the research collection in a holistic manner. The approach includes dividing the collection into subjects, creating a means to include interdisciplinary resources, scheduling assessments over time, implementing infrastructure changes in order to use assessment data and analyses effectively, and allocating resources to enhance subject areas by addressing gaps identified during the evaluation process. The program will include examples of completed collection enhancements and conclude with a question-and-answer segment.
