Question: Beyond Disciplines : Providing Outreach to Underserved Groups by Demographic
Answer: As more students, faculty, and staff from traditionally underrepresented groups enter
universities and colleges, academic libraries must find ways to reach out to these groups in order to
better meet their unique educational needs. In this article, librarians from two large public universities
describe how they used data about their communities to determine which underserved groups might
need additional outreach, and then marketed library tools and services to student veterans, students
with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students.
