The Role of Outreach: Creating a Holistic Learning Community
• Library at the center: Ensuring the library, staff, and resources are visible on campus and in the community
User Groups: Recognizing and interfacing with all students (commuters, diverse populations, distance learners, non-credit learners); faculty; staff; community
Main campus and other regional campuses: Connecting, collaborating, and advocating
On-campus and off-campus groups: Partnering with library to create enriching learning opportunities

(Karle, 2008, p. 142)

alternatives.
