Libraries are essential for supporting research, teaching, and learning in agriculture and related fields. However, library concepts and terms may not be familiar or intuitive for agriculture faculty and students, who may have different backgrounds, perspectives, and needs. How can librarians communicate effectively with this audience and help them make the most of the library resources and services? One strategy is to use analogies to relate library concepts and terms to agriculture. Connecting library-ese and library activities to familiar ideas and language can bridge the gap between the library and agriculture domains making abstract or complex ideas more concrete and accessible. In this poster, we present examples of analogies that can help librarians communicate with agriculture scholars on topics related to library activities including instruction, literature research, and collection development.
