Outside the Box: Redefining Ethical Innovation in the Academic Library
In what ways can libraries redefine instruction, services, and collection development in a manner that is thought-provoking, ethical, and innovative? This ongoing shift calls for change agents to curate, acquire, and build upon competencies, while establishing fresh and transparent benchmarks.
Produced annually by the Greater New York Metropolitan Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries, this year’s event will take place on Friday, December 6th at Baruch College’s Vertical Campus in Manhattan.
