PDA Event: Everyday Superheroes: Collaboration, Support, and Purpose in Small to Mid-Size Libraries

Short on staff, strapped for time, and stretched thin? For small and mid-size library workers, collaboration isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.

This session will share strategies for building meaningful partnerships with faculty, student-services offices, and administrators to break barriers and strengthen campus connections. Participants will also explore practical approaches to managing burnout and compassion fatigue, practicing self-advocacy, and sustaining a clear sense of purpose in their work.

Presenter: 

Camille Abdeljawad, Director of Library Services & First-Year Experience Assistant Professor, Park University, where she teaches information literacy and research skills to a diverse student population, including distance and non-traditional students. She earned her master of library science degree at Emporia State University. Her research interests include source authority and misinformation as well as college library services. Camille is the editor of The Small to Mid-Size Academic Library Series from ACRL Press.
