    Description: This presentation will focus on ways we support collaborative research by bringing together diverse communities in our library environments for public libraries and academic libraries. We will discuss ways to support information needs across the lifespan as well as across interdisciplinary perspectives both in physical and digital library environments through collaboration and the pursuit of new knowledge and practice. The presentation will highlight case studies of library collaborations in collections, services, and spaces and engage the audience in discussing trends and practices in library collaborations that are useful in their local environments. Martha Kyrillidou has engaged in projects that involve both public and academic libraries as a library consultant and the case studies will draw upon her experiences.

    Bio:  Martha has library credentials from the iSchools of Ohio and Illinois, including a master's in library science from Kent State University and a Ph.D. in library and information science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She has served as the PI and co-PI as well as external evaluator on more than a dozen grants from IMLS, NSF, NCES, and the Department of Education. Martha received the 2005 LRRT Four Star Research Award.
