Abstract
This paper documents strategies that can be used to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) awareness in academic libraries. A case study approach was used to provide insights from the author’s fellowship experience and personal reflections from working as a science librarian in academic and special library settings. In this regard it revealed six strategies that academic librarians can implement to enhance STEM awareness. These strategies target users, non-users and staff. This paper is unique in that it is the first publication on the initiatives of a Jamaican academic library in promoting the STEM concept. This study is of value as it includes strategies that can be used to enhance STEM awareness; allows for benchmarking; and points to the need for further research in the area.
