    A Case of Collaboration: USMA Library's Tiny Art Show “Magnificent Miniatures”
    (N/A, 2023-04-23) Chess, Jennifer; Gomez, Lisa; Mullooly, Lori
    In academic libraries, departments can be siloed and unaware of each other's activities. However, when colleagues stretch beyond these "walled gardens" the results can yield creative projects and a rewarding experience for students, faculty, and staff. This case study will present a successful initiative at the USMA Library: The Tiny Art Show “Magnificent Miniatures.” Several librarians with different and discrete roles worked together to create a passive library program, market that program across campus and then produce a major art exhibit. This collaboration allowed cadets to create original artwork and engage with one another, the exhibit, and the library collection in a unique and scholarly way. Ultimately, this art exhibit was digitized, which provided further engagement outside of the library and across the wider campus community. Participants will learn ways to adapt this program to their library, including scaling this program up or down.

    Passive Programming as a Pathway: How to Engage with Heavily Scheduled Patrons
    (N/A, 2023-05-16) Mullooly, Lori; Chess, Jennifer; Gomez, Lisa
    It can be difficult to create academic library programs and exhibits that are interactive, scholarly, and popular. This is especially challenging at our academic library, where there is an exceptionally heavy demand for student time. This makes finding an acceptable time to host a library program particularly difficult. This poster presents a successful initiative at the USMA library: The Tiny Art Show “Magnificent Miniatures.” Several librarians worked together to create a passive library program that was then used to produce a major art exhibit. This collaboration allowed students to create original artwork and engage with one another, the exhibit, and the library collection in a unique and scholarly way. Ultimately, this art exhibit was digitized, which provided further engagement outside of the library and across the wider campus community. Importantly, all of this happened at the library and accommodated available student time.
