Session Description:
What if research could be more fun? Research Parties are drop-in consultation sessions that provide students with a social research support environment. Like the reference desk, librarians provide in-person help to students from different classes at various stages of the research process, but like the hands-on portion of instruction sessions, librarians assist multiple students at once. This panel will present the experiences of librarians from three different colleges who have successfully used the Research Party model with graduate, undergraduate, traditional, and non-traditional students to increase student success and connect students with librarians and their services.
