In an era of constant change, effective outreach programs are grounded in purposeful principles. This session explores how ACRL's newly adopted outreach competencies build on fundamental elements of successful academic library outreach: intentionality, assessment, and strategic relationship-building. Drawing on research from conceptual frameworks to practical applications, learn how understanding these core elements creates adaptable and sustainable programs. Perfect for both new and experienced outreach librarians, attendees will discover how mastering outreach fundamentals enables programs to demonstrate value while evolving to meet changing needs. Join us to explore getting "back to basics" while building for the future.
