Abstract
Librarians falling short in their outreach efforts can improve by examining their assumptions of their patron base, learning more about their campus community, being open to the need for revision and by welcoming feedback from your population. This column explores the true importance of knowing the library’s users and how doing so can make for successful outreach. Examples of outreach materials are included.
