With a strong affinity for libraries, writing, and storytelling, Jimmy felt like it was a match made in heaven when he was offered a job to join the team. Since the first day, his love for the libraries has only grown. Each day, Jimmy made an effort to learn something new about the library. This included learning about its exhibits, events, activities, the support it offers, and library administration&#8217;s vision for the future of the academic library at Chapman University. In addition to discovering more about our services and collections, Jimmy also started to discover that the library is filled with hidden gems. As part of his outreach efforts, he decided to take everyone on an expedition as part of a new blog series, titled &#8216;Exploring the Magic of the Leatherby Libraries.&#8217; Throughout the 2019-2020 year and using well-developed and virtually intriguing blogs, Jimmy wrote each week about a hidden gem, a <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/library\/2021\/03\/12\/telling-stories-one-room-at-a-time\/\">story room<\/a>, or a collection. He explored the rich exhibits and archives of the Leatherby Libraries, and took a deep dive into the treasures of its various collections. From the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/library\/2020\/02\/28\/exploring-the-library-californias-gold-exhibit-and-huell-howser-archives\/\">Huell Howser Archives and California\u2019s Gold Exhibit<\/a> to the Disney Rooms, Jimmy took the students and the faculty on a magical tour through his storytelling and photography, and brought the collections to life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The CASE judges offered significant praise for the series, writing, &#8220;The unique and innovative blog series, &#8216;Exploring the Magic of the Leatherby Libraries,&#8217; from Chapman University deserves high accolades. Through storytelling, Jimmy Elinski was able to highlight different areas of the Leatherby Libraries that could otherwise be overlooked and underappreciated. Elinski successfully blended the academic content of the exhibits and archives with his own personal discovery, which resulted in an approachable way for users to explore the library virtually. The outstanding collaboration of the development coordinator and student worker (Elinski) provided a strong structure to educate constituents through an individualized approach. To further distinguish itself, this project found a way to utilize existing content that profiled meaningful work and use it in a new way. This framework of sharing established content through a different approach makes it accessible for other institutions to implement similar strategies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4703\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4703\" style=\"width: 404px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2019\/09\/IMG_2411.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4703\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2019\/09\/IMG_2411.jpg\" alt=\"Jimmy posing sideways, as if swimming, with a wall of framed photos behind him.\" width=\"404\" height=\"303\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4703\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jimmy swimming with the sea life in Kevin Lee&#8217;s Underwater Photography Exhibit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s CASE Circle of Excellence Awards highlight the creative, nimble, and innovative approaches our members bring to championing the success of their institutions,\u201d says CASE President and CEO Sue Cunningham.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdvancing education has never been more important,\u00a0and\u00a0the\u00a0Circle of Excellence\u00a0Awards\u00a0celebrate the\u00a0innovative\u00a0work that has contributed to that vital societal outcome.
