Presenter: Jonathan Garren, Instruction and Outreach Librarian, Coker University Library, [email protected] Title: Space Considerations and Planning in a Pandemic Description: In a typical year, our library is one of the busiest and most vibrant spaces on campus, regularly hosting over 500 students per hour during peak times, in a 62,000 sq ft building. Maintaining this vibrant and welcoming atmosphere in the face of pandemic realities presented quite a challenge. How do you maintain a balance of collaborative and quiet study space while fostering social distancing and adhering to institutional guidelines for student contact? This poster will highlight the planning process, the reconfiguration of space, and software utilized to manage student usage of the library.

Title: A Team-Based Liaison Approach to Science Coverage Description: This poster presents a case study of a team-based liaison coverage model for STEM fields during an extended period of turnover and change. The poster identifies areas of need and expert level competences among the team-based liaison approach as an alternative to subject-specific expertise, in contrast to the typical liaison model. It identifies the weaknesses and areas of growth in this model, and discusses the ways that the team-based liaison approach to STEM field coverage contributes to high-impact, temporary library relationship-building with institutional priority disciplines. Presenters: Jenessa McElfresh, Health Sciences Librarian, Clemson University, [email protected] Jennifer Groff, Engineering and Chemistry Librarian, Clemson University, [email protected]
Title: Psyched Out: A Psychology Librarian's Tale of the Switch from In-Person to Online Instruction Description: The author of this poster has served as psychology librarian at the University of South Carolina (USC) Upstate for the past two years. During this time, he has established a successful partnership with psychology faculty. This has resulted in an increase in library instruction sessions. All sections of the required research methods course attend an in-person session with the librarian. This poster will discuss how the author transitioned from an in-person to online format. Both successes and challenges will be discussed, as well as lessons learned. Presenter: John Siegel, Coordinator of Information Literacy, University of South Carolina Upstate, [email protected] Title: Write It Down: Involving First-Year Experience Students in a COVID-19 Community Archiving Project Description: The University of South Carolina (USC) Upstate requires all first-year students to take University 101, a course that introduces them to college and university resources. Librarians visit all sections of University 101, and students are required to complete a library activity. For the 2020-2021 academic year, students were invited to contribute a written or artistic work for the USC Upstate Library's COVID-19 Community Archiving Project. This poster will discuss the activity and feature examples of students' unique stories. Presenters: Sara DeSantis, Reference and Research Librarian, University of South Carolina Upstate, [email protected] Title: LibApps LTI: Integrating LibApps into Blackboard using the Springshare Automagic Tool In this poster, we will discuss how librarians at Winthrop University collaborated with the Winthrop Office of Online Learning (WOOL) to integrate our LibApps directly into our Learning Management system, Blackboard.
