Abstract

This article will explain how James Madison University Libraries successfully made the case to hire a second business librarian. We outline the strategies we used in our advocacy efforts, such as identifying data that highlights differences in workloads, exploring ways to mitigate larger liaison populations, and crafting a story that engages multiple stakeholders. We hope that our experiences might assist other business librarians and their supervisors who are facing similar staffing and workload questions at their institutions.
