Abstract
Abstract The pandemic caused not only a shift to remote learning and programming but also a need to support students’ well-being and desire for connection. As an interdisciplinary unit on campus, the UMass Amherst Libraries found themselves in a unique position to provide such support. What began as bimonthly online game nights has since blossomed into the Libraries Outreach Series, with weekly in-person events that provide fun non-academic activities where students can relax and connect with each other and the Libraries.
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.
