Promotion: Retraining Veterans for Civilian Careers

Throughout academic year 2015 – 2016, the acquisitions librarian and the VRC have collaborated to provide and promote individual and group research consultation/library instruction session opportunities for student veterans, including library instruction in the library classroom, at the VRC, and one-on-one in the research computer section of the library. (Promotional flyer follows.) During the spring of 2016, the acquisitions librarian staffed a booth at the Second Annual Veteran’s Career and Resource Fair to promote library research one-on-one consultations and the transferable credit library course to veterans. The new resources that are available to veterans at the library through the student equity grant funding were also marketed to veterans at the Annual Veteran’s Career and Resource Fair, via a handout that listed the newly acquired books and eBooks.
