Most academic librarians wear many hats and work across diverse areas, especially at smaller institutions such as Valpo. Because work informs research and research informs work, Connell\u2019s research spans many subject areas within librarianship, including social media outreach, parental policies for academic librarians, and the effects of interlibrary loan procedures on patron usage. These seemingly different research areas share a common genesis and methodology. All of them began with a question, involve data-driven research, and inform our practice on campus.\u00a0 This lecture will provide insight into facets of librarianship and how related research impacts Valparaiso University.
