Join Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies for “Building Your Success: Faculty Orientation+”—an annual, open house-style event designed to connect new and returning faculty with the many services, tools, and resources that support teaching, research, and publishing at Purdue.

At this informal and informative event, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with experts from across Libraries and learn how we can support your academic journey—from research visibility and data management to copyright guidance and student success initiatives. Whether you’re publishing a book, planning your next course, or looking to integrate open-access materials, this orientation is designed to help you get the most out of Purdue Libraries’ offerings.
