Abstract
  • Academic research presentations help to inform specialized, academic audiences about current research and practice. Academic libraries often support students, faculty, and staff in creating these types of presentations. Recent investment in community-based research approaches, including community based participatory research (CBPR), has led to a growing interest in academic communities to create poster presentations tailored to community audiences. A librarian and a Student Research Assistant will discuss development of a course-integrated instructional session for PhD students learning to present research results to community audiences. This presentation will highlight best practices such as audience considerations, including literacy and health literacy levels; use of plain language; use of clear communication; and use of visuals and infographics. To further aid in dissemination of these resources, an online guide was also created. These principles are not only beneficial for future instruction but may also inform how librarians can effectively communicate with community patrons.
