ACRL/NY: Association of College and Research Libraries, Greater New York Metropolitan Area Chapter

The Graduate Services Discussion Group of ACRL/NY (GSDG) meets to discuss how to customize and do outreach to graduate students in all disciplines. How does graduate student needs in libraries differ from those of undergraduates? Services to graduate students is a specialization in academia, particularly in libraries. This group will provide a forum in which to discuss ways to serve the graduate student population through instruction, specialized services, and digital initiatives.
