UK Libraries welcomed nearly 80 students and
family members from Sutton
Elementary of Owensboro, Kentucky, on Tuesday, March 24. The visitors had the opportunity to observe
college students at work and to learn how UK Libraries supports students at UK.
UK Libraries faculty, staff, and graduate assistants invited the Sutton
students to picture themselves as future college students. They also emphasized
how librarians in large research libraries, public libraries, and their own
school media center can help them now.
While on a tour of William T. Young Library, the
visitors saw the compact shelving units in action (a highlight of many school
group visits) and visited UK Libraries' partner, the Media Depot @ the Hub. In
the Media Depot they saw the green screen room and learned about multimedia
resources available to UK students.
The students’ tour ended with a hunt for fossils
along the floor of the atrium thanks to the work of Reference Services graduate assistant Brittany Netherton, who
designed a learning activity and brochure about fossils in the Young Library flooring. Debbie Sharp, Beth Fuchs, Beth Kraemer,
Jen Martin, Anna Jester, Tawni Miller,
and Stacey Greenwell all assisted
with the visit by Sutton Elementary.
