{"Image DocumentName": "P3: Outreach (Mobile Reference)", "Image ImageDescription": "Librarian reported an increase in consultations by 400% from Prusin 2012 by simply having 2 sessions of 2 hour office hours. This additional example from a recent 2012 publication shows how a librarian can engage in productive, efficient outreach by conducting Laboratory Office Hours ....the Librarian\u2026in consultation with Faculty\u2026sets up office hours in a location that students frequent. This means providing service in an environment where students and faculty already feel comfortable. The librarian only schedule 4 hours a week for this kind of outreach but increased consultations by 400%. The question that I asked msyelf\u2026what kind of outreach can we do with the affiliated organizations? At the moment, I\u2019m unsure, because I don\u2019t know enough about the culture, the researchers, the services already provided by librarians\u2026but there is potential to employ this model where relevant.
