Connecting Undergraduate Students to Transportation Research: A Comprehensive Outreach Initiative

Abstract

The aim of this project was to promote the Center for Transportation Research Library's collection through a variety of means, with the end goal of enhancing access and awareness of its resources among undergraduate students. The project involved several initiatives, including the creation of information literacy videos and assignments, the update of promotional materials, and the development and delivery of presentations to student groups and classes. These efforts were tailored toward students and designed to focus on electronic materials, which are increasingly important for research and readily available through the library’s catalog. This project served as a comprehensive outreach initiative, providing multiple avenues for students to access and engage with the transportation research library's collection.
