Marketing Communications
The Marketing Communications team publicizes information and news for students, faculty, and staff when and where they need it. Reaching across the campus and throughout the community, we promote the Libraries’ resources, services, events, and stories on our websites and through digital marketing, social media, video, PR, print materials, and advertising.
User Experience, Analytics, and Assessment
Our user experience, analytics and assessment (UXAA) staff cultivate a culture of inquiry, empathy, and data-informed decision-making. We consult with, train, and empower library employees and campus partners on user experience and assessment methods. We coordinate implementation of the library’s strategic map and help tell the story of the impact of the library on student success, researcher productivity, and community engagement.
