• Abstract:
  Kendra Stoll, a Senior Librarian with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), presented tips on developing library outreach at this Transportation Librarians Roundtable. Stoll shared background information about a Caltrans employee affinity group called WOMEN (Women’s Opportunity to Mentor, Empower, and Network). For Women’s History Month in March, Stoll developed a presentation that covered the history of women in Caltrans. Women were involved in important work of the department from the beginning of Caltrans. Stoll shares lessons learned during the process of delivering the presentation, the reaction from attendees, and the benefits of organizing a presentation for library outreach.
