    Hello ULS!


     


    If you are attending the upcoming ALA Midwinter Meeting later this month, please join the ULS Current Topics Discussion Group for an informal discussion on topics generated by those in attendance.  What are the current issues and topics on your mind?  What issues would you benefit from talking to colleagues from other university libraries about?  Some topics already suggested are:



    • Reorganization & changing roles for liaison librarians

    • Makerspaces in academic libraries

    • Libraries collaborating with campus partners

    • Librarians' role in campus wide curricular or teaching/learning initiatives


     


    If these topics sound interesting, or if you have a topic you would like to add, please send them my way and join us for an informal discussion!
