-James Joyce
PROS
*Greater visibility on campus
*Increased awareness of censorship for both students and faculty
*Organizing this event fostered new campus relationships
* “Out of the box” thinking for space needs led to creative use of existing Library space
CONS
• Time consuming – interfered with daily workflow• September timing of program made planning
more challenging as most faculty were not on campus
• Procurement Department difficulties• Over-estimated time allocation of activities and
events• Complaints of increase noise level on Plaza from
staff and faculty in nearby offices
In Summary….• Don’t let a rejection of Grant money stop
you from proceeding with a well thought out program
• A campus-wide event fosters greater Library visibility.
• Be careful not to over plan.
• Be prepared for anything!!!!
