1. How long have you been in the role of an outreach librarian?<\/em>
\nI joined the University of North Dakota outreach team three years ago (2015).<\/p>\n

2. How did you get involved in outreach?<\/em>
\nOutreach has been assigned to the position I hold for some time. Within two months of beginning my duties as a clinical campus librarian, I participated in my first outreach exhibit at the 2015 North Dakota Library Association annual conference. I was fortunate to work with seasoned exhibitors Marcia Francis and Jacqueline Leskovec. They showed me the ropes and made the experience very enjoyable. <\/p>\n

3. What is your favorite outreach project that you\u2019ve done so far?<\/em>
\nI can\u2019t name a specific experience, but all of the conference presentations I have done on behalf of our outreach team have been fun. I enjoy the opportunity to share high-quality resources with teachers, librarians, health professionals, and the general public. At various conferences, these audiences have been so appreciative of the new resources I have presented. It is very rewarding to know that I have helped people in their work and in their knowledge of health topics.
\n4. What outreach activity do you hope to do in the future?<\/em><\/p>\n

I hope to continue providing training at a variety of conferences. I\u2019m also looking forward to the prospect of offering an Evidence-Based Medicine Training CE to allied health professionals in the Fargo-Moorhead area.<\/p>\n

5. What is the one thing you wished you had known before you got started in outreach?<\/em>
\nI can\u2019t think of anything specific. I was very fortunate to join an established outreach team that is doing great work. They were able to pull me along from my first day on the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
