Description
The IR at Children’s Mercy Kansas City (SHARE@Children’s Mercy) has technically existed for four years; however, the IR previously operated in a silo and few staff members were aware of its existence. In the last year and a half, the IR has experienced a complete overhaul not only in administration, but also in terms of self-promotion. This change was brought about due to staff changes in the library team responsible for the IR and a dedicated effort to promote the IR across the hospital. This presentation will address the steps the library services team undertook to bring the IR out of the shadows and find champions to advertise the benefits of being involved in the continued growth of SHARE.
