      <description>Title: Outreach department annual report 2025
Abstract: Established in 2012 with the mission to connect the Library with the University community, the Outreach Department has evolved significantly in response to the changing academic landscape. The post-COVID era, in particular, has marked a shift in the Library’s identity. Moving beyond its traditional role as a static repository of resources, the Library has actively embraced the "Third Place" philosophy, serving as a space distinct from the classroom and the home. In this new capacity, the Library is prioritising social connection, wellbeing, and collaborative learning. For 2026, the Department is focusing on cementing this transition by being involved in research projects and strategic collaborations. By partnering with entities such as the Equity Office, the Institute of Digital Games, and the Faculty of Education, the Department is positioning the Library as a central hub for culture, digital literacy, and student inclusion. Concurrently, the Department continues to manage the Library’s digital presence, ensuring that this supportive, social atmosphere is reflected across all communication channels.</description>
