The document outlines the implementation of Breakout EDU kits at Collier Library to enhance library literacy among students, faculty, and staff. Following pilot tests in 2017, the kits were integrated into first-year experience classes, focusing on digital navigation and physical location identification within the library. Assessment results indicated significant improvements in both physical and digital space engagement, as well as retention of specific information by students.
