MiALA 2026 Annual Conference

The Packaging Reuse Project is a collaboration between the library’s resource sharing department and eight different locations on campus, allowing for a unique connection between different departments. This presentation will discuss how the project was started, issues we encountered, and how the project currently operates, as well as highlight ways that attendees can collaborate and connect across campus, even if they are not part of a resource sharing department.

Learning Objective(s): 1) Attendees will be able to identify potential partners for a packaging reuse program or other collaboration; and 2) Attendees will be able to identify benefits as well as potential issues and/or roadblocks when implementing a similar program at their own institutions.
