Show them what you got: Throwing an epic open house

Abstract

Picture this: all of a liaison librarian’s students and faculty in one place, telling stories about how the library and its resources have been integral to their work, learning about resources and services they never knew about, and inspiring one another with their work and their own unique methods of working with the library. It sounds like an amazing dream, right? Two arts librarians at the University of California-Irvine (UCI) were able to turn their dreams into reality in October 2016, when they worked together to throw an epic library open house for their liaison areas.
