Oklahoma Association of College and Research Libraries 2024 Annual Conference, Tulsa, OK, United States.https://hdl.handle.net/11244/340736In the midst of various efforts to become more involved and visible in the University of Arkansas Fort Smith community, the Boreham Library on campus is undergoing three major faculty changes, which account for 50% of our total faculty positions. Despite being short-staffed during the processes of filling these roles, the remaining faculty and staff have maintained the momentum we built during previous semesters through outreach and shared governance efforts. The librarians have kept control of a Student Academic Success course which the previous director advocated for us to teach while also participating in several campus committees, including Faculty Senate. Our exceptional support staff have ensured that we have been able to continue offering the same events and hours of operation for our community during these extra challenges.All rights reserved by the author, who has granted UCO Chambers Library the non-exclusive right to share this material in its online repositories.
