Washburn University is an open-admissions medium sized public university in Topeka, Kansas, whose University Libraries, by 2007, were increasing irrelevant to the campus community of learning. Indeed, like many other similar sized libraries, the Washburn Libraries had to answer the question of their relevancy in the age of Google. Now, as 2013 begins, the Washburn University Libraries have returned to their historic position at the center of the University community of learning and this presentation will detail how this occurred during a period of fiscal austerity. This discussion will examine a five-year plan that saw the Washburn Libraries engage the campus community in effective and transformative ways through Information Literacy instruction and as a key partner in developing the institution's new First-Year Experience program.
