Promoting First-Generation Student Success Through Academic Library Services, April 3 - May 14

Register: go.wisc.edu/xb62e3<https://go.wisc.edu/xb62e3>


First-generation college students encompass an ever-increasing number of people and represent a vital contact point for libraries. The course will address the ways that academic libraries can enhance their in-person and digital spaces, outreach, and instruction to prepare first-generation students for success as they begin their academic career. Learners will gain an understanding of the unique challenges faced by first-generation students as they enter and continue through college, develop practical support strategies, and apply them in their communities.


The Next Chapter: Programs and Services for Older Adults, Apr 17 – May 14

Register: go.wisc.edu/tt3k1x<https://go.wisc.edu/tt3k1x>

Ten thousand people turn 65 every day in America. As our aging population grows dramatically, libraries are finding it crucial to serve this audience. The unique needs and interests of older adults are wide and varied, from tech help to library home delivery service to memory cafes.

We will dig into some of the trends, misconceptions, and needs of this age group. Practical tips, methods, and ideas will be discussed and shared.
