    Irene Herold (Dean, Mason Library, Keene State College), Dr.  Anne Marie Casey (Director, Hunt Library, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University), and Adriene Lim (Interim University Librarian, Portland State University) will explain the application of Triple (people, planet, and profit) Bottom Line Accounting (TBLA) to ROI.
