In an effort to promote affordable academic resources, three librarians at the University of Florida’s George A. Smathers Libraries hired an undergraduate intern to curate a guide to research using open access resources. This presentation – given by the student intern and librarians – will highlight the importance of ensuring that open access resources are promoted to students and will provide a framework for how to do so at other institutions. We will use Mentimeter to query audience members as to how they approach and promote open access initiatives at their own institutions, and their perceived understanding of student strengths in conducting academic research beyond the students’ time of enrollment and institutional access. Through equitable access to information and the cultivation of information literacy skills, librarians can instill research skills and enable successful lifelong learning.
