LUPD Officer Lora Martin and LTS staff led discussions on safety in the Libraries and on campus with over 85 first-year students in the 5x10 Lead the Way to Safety: Your Role in Creating a Safe Campus. Special Collections continued teaching with primary sources. We hosted a variety of classes ranging from The Culture of the Book (religion and global studies course) to BIOS/MATH 130 (biostatistics course), as well as Holona Ochs' End of Policing (POLS 398) and Introduction to Public Administration (POLS 103). These two classes examined selected examples from the Bethlehem Police Department collection for data sources, and a graduate student conducted advanced sociological research on the data. The Student Library Advisory Board (SLAB) continued to assist library staff with input on collections and programs, with this year’s cohort collaborating on a bus marketing campaign for the library's news sources and a spring book social, which included a display of SLABselected titles trending on BookTok, as well as creating “Blind Date with a Book” bags for students to take with them. Since its start in 2019, SLAB has played a key role in several 338 registered participants Total hours watched: 2,215 15% completed the challenge Participants watched 300% more than nonparticipants 20 in '21 CHALLENGE FAST FACTS 202 1 /22 | ANNUAL REPORT | 5 library initiatives including the OverDrive ebook and audiobook library and a library space survey.

Special Collections hosted a variety of open houses and pop-up sessions including Halloween at Lehigh, Lehigh-Lafayette Rivalry, Medieval Music, Lehigh in Negatives, and a two-day Astrophysics open house. LTS launched the LinkedIn Learning 20 in ‘21 Challenge, where students, faculty, and staff could challenge themselves to complete 20 hours of LinkedIn Learning courses by the end of the year, earning chances for prizes, BeWell points, and recognition along the way. LinkedIn Learning offers thousands of curated, expert-led courses based on the career path, role and interests of the learner, offering a highly personalized, datadriven learning experience. Librarians continued our SWAN (Second Wednesdays at Noon) seminars for graduate students, a series designed to support graduate research and writing needs, as well as co-facilitating CITL's graduate teaching certificate program. Lehigh Librarians collaborated with Director of the Graduate Writers' Studio (GWS), Yvonne Lee, on a needs assessment project which surveyed College of Education faculty on student research and writing successes, challenges, and needs. With our findings, the Libraries will grow our partnership with GWS to better unify research and writing support for graduate students. Our Writing Across the Curriculum program trained 30 new Technology, Research, and Communications Fellows who joined the 87-strong TRAC Writing Fellows program in supporting 42 courses in the spring and fall, including 6 large courses, and held over 4,000 individual and group writing consultations. LinkedIn Learning has enabled me to explore interests outside of my major studies, which has helped tremendously in deciding my professional career. I'm studying Accounting and Finance at Lehigh, so LinkedIn courses such as Finance Foundations and Accounting Foundations offered early insights into the two business fields and helped me confirmmy major choices. On top of that, courses such as Learning Python, Tableau Training, and Learning Java have helped to establish essential technical skills needed to succeed in my career field.
