What is the Help Yourself Campaign?
At UCM's James C. Kirkpatrick Library, we want students to know that the libraries has more than just academic resources. We have resources for self-help and wellness. This guide strives to connect UCM students with library resources on topics that may be difficult and stressful for individuals to learn about or discuss openly.
To empower students in their journey toward seeking knowledge and wellness, we have compiled call numbers and campus resource information on the included campaign topics, both in this digital guide and on placards placed in the 3rd Floor Stacks of JCKL near the books on each topic.
We hope these resources empower students to locate and check out these resources from the library in addition to seeking help from student-serving offices on campus.
We will distribute these materials to any student-serving office on campus where students may benefit the most from finding this information. If there is a topic you would like added to the campaign, please let us know.
This project was originally started by Dr. Spencer Keralis at the UNT Libraries.
