Library of Things

For LIBS 658: Knowledge Resources: Planning, Selecting, & Managing Collections, I created ten kits of non-traditional items for Mary D. Pretlow Anchor Branch’s library of things.  A majority of these kits are for patrons in underserved and/or marginalized populations.  There are kits for seniors, people with visual impairments, and LGBTQIA+ teens, among others.  Each of the ten kits includes a list of included items and a justification for why this kit would improve the library’s collection.

Student Learning Outcomes:

1. Create innovative responses to the needs and interests of diverse and global communities.

5. Integrate evolving technologies and theories that underpin their design, application, and use with library and information services.
