Building a community of the students, by the students, for the students: Collaborating with student government organizations

In recent years, the Mansfield Library has developed a strong interest in engaging its undergraduate student community. In addition to developing more events and programming specifically for undergraduates, librarians have pursued increased interaction with students via social media and through work with non-academic partners. And, like many academic libraries, the Mansfield Library has implemented an institutional repository for campus scholarship. This chapter will focus on the convergence of these endeavors and describe how librarians employed the institutional repository to more fully engage the undergraduate student body government.
