Growing Faculty Relationships Through Proactive Communication

Description

Faculty at Royal Roads University report feeling that they're missing out on key library services but are too time-strapped to seek out additional support. To address this, RRU Library recently launched a faculty newsletter highlighting services to support teaching and research. Through this project, we're seeking to
enhance the Library's relationship with our faculty and increase our mutual sense of belonging.

This presentation reflects on the experience of putting together a new newsletter, including challenges and learnings so far. We'll touch on both practicalities -- successes, missteps, best practices -- and outcomes - - engagement metrics, anecdotal feedback, and perceived return on investment.
