I’ve been reading about hyperlinked academic libraries and am again inspired by the concepts of access and accessibility in library settings. In the context of academic libraries, I found myself particularly drawn to the article by Linda Spice that highlighted the impact of food insecurity and food access on the academic success of students (2019). Spice’s article also demonstrated the ways that libraries can support students experiencing food insecurity, something I personally relate to from my own undergraduate experience (2019). I was heavily reliant on the food bank hosted by my college in undergrad, however it was somewhat difficult to access in my experience. The information was vaguely available online, however the food bank’s hours of operation were often out of date. Additionally, it was located in a part of campus I rarely visited, in a basement level room difficult to find without specific directions or assistance. I would’ve loved to have something like it in a library setting, as I used the library often and was quite familiar with the resources available. Libraries are a part of colleges that are accessible and often frequented by students on campus regardless of their major or classes. The amount of foot traffic in libraries makes them an excellent place to house resources or information on how to access resources. I’d love to implement a resource like this in a future academic library I work in, and the idea also inspires me to think of similar resources that could be housed in library spaces, like a free clothing exchange closet space. The definition of a library and what it entails is changing all the time, and that gives us an incredible opportunity to demonstrate the ways we can utilize libraries to support our communities.
