State of the Libraries – December 6, 2017

State of the Libraries starts at 11 a.m. at the College Avenue Student Center. We have more than 24 poster presentations so arrive on time to see them all! Lunch will be served at noon and then our program featuring Krisellen Maloney and Calvin Lai will begin at 12:30 p.m. See you there!

At the meeting, we reviewed the results of a survey of the BTAA library directors’ top priorities for future collaborative activities. This exercise reveals that we are not alone in focusing on improving infrastructure.
