Core webinar: Community Connection for Health Information Access

Date: Wednesday, March 16, 2022

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



This is the second session in a three-part series regarding Access and
Equity

Description: Service is at the heart of community outreach and engagement.
“Community” can take many different forms, from the public to non-profit
organizations and others. It takes special skill and knowledge to
effectively build relationships and partnership with community
organizations and individuals in order to serve them. It takes additional
skill and knowledge to lead teams engaged in these activities. The
experience of health science librarians can serve as an example of
knowledge and skills needed in serving the community through outreach and
engagement. The experience of health science libraries offers insight that
leaders in any organization can learn from.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Define leadership skills needed for person-centered community engagement
in their own words;

2. Explain processes and best practices for community engagement; and

3. Identify one or more areas in which they can implement person-centered
leadership concepts into their community engagement work.

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in the topic can benefit from this session and is
welcome to participate.

Tess Wilson, MLIS, MFA, is Program Manager of the Network of the National

priorities and NNLM initiatives.

Abby Mann spent over a decade as a professor of English before seeing the
light and returning to UNC-CH for her MLIS. As a librarian, she can
continue the foundational work she did in teaching information literacy at
the general education level, but do so in ways that think about
cross-campus initiatives and lifelong outcomes for learners. She is
currently the Online Learning Librarian at Illinois Wesleyan University,
where she focuses on both creating online learning objects and helping
faculty envision and design digital scholarship projects for pedagogical
purposes.
