Abstract
Abstract Keeping up with the cultural references, slang, and habits of college students can feel like a daunting task, but doing so is vital for any library to reach and engage with this audience. When done well in academic libraries, this practice humanizes the library, mitigates library anxiety, increases buzz about the library, and illustrates the library as a welcoming space for all. Most important, actively working to remain relevant with the current and upcoming generations of students helps libraries meet their students where they are, supporting them holistically to ensure their success in and beyond college.
期刊介绍：
Public Services Quarterly covers a broad spectrum of public service issues in academic libraries, presenting practical strategies for implementing new initiatives and research-based insights into effective practices. The journal publishes research-based and theoretical articles as well as case studies that advance the understanding of public services, including reference and research assistance, information literacy instruction, access and delivery services, and other services to patrons. Articles may examine creative ways to use technology to assist students and faculty. Practice-based articles should be thoroughly grounded in the literature and should situate the work done in one library into the larger context of the situation.
