Michael Crumpton, Dean, University Libraries, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
Nakia Hoskins, External Engagement Coordinator, University Libraries, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
This presentation explores academic library trends and potential modification to fundraising strategies, and challenges to library administrators. This is also a case study of how the use of a Donor Experience Officer (DXO) transitions traditional donor contact methods from physical, personal engagement to virtual activity across the spectrum from solicitation to stewardship. This presentation will provide a look at trends and discuss strategies, examples, and concepts for recognizing these trends as well as modifying and aligning your library’s institutional advancement efforts. Our experiences with moving to a Donor Experience Officer and providing virtual engagement options for donors will be shared.
