[Please excuse cross postings.]
The ACRL-ULS Current Topics Discussion Group is starting to plan discussions for the year, and we need your help! We are looking for topic suggestions focused on trends, challenges, or success relating to university libraries and library staff. We are also looking for people to sign up to be discussion leaders for either lightning talks (10-15 minutes) or a full talk (30-45 minutes). Please suggest topics on our Padlet until Nov 17th. If there is a topic that you like, please click the "thumbs up" icon to indicate you would be interested in that discussion.
Possible topics may include (but not limited to):
-
Fostering student belonging
-
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools
-
Leisure reading displays
-
Student wellness programs
-
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiatives
