Explore Florida Gulf Coast University library's strategic achievements

A unified approach to fulfill a strategic plan.

The challenges of both digital transformation and the pandemic have impacted everyone within the library – from library leadership, middle management, to frontline staff. Each has caused libraries to assess where and how they are operating today, but more importantly think about how they should evaluate and prepare for the future. 
 
Join your colleagues from the Florida Gulf Coast University library in this live session and explore:

 

  • the strategic plan of the library team, 
  • discovering how the ideas behind it were generated with the active involvement of staff, and
  • examining how it has materialized through a range of innovative library services.
Discussion will focus on technology approaches, implementation of new services, workflow efficiencies, and individual contributions that are helping execute the library’s strategic plan.
