    Join us for the final webinar in our Collaborative Research series! 

    Speaker: Morgan Perry, Community Resources Coordinator for Mid-Continent Public Library. Title: Academic, Public, or Specialized: Better Together

    Description: A critical component of modern librarianship is collaboration. However, we rarely collaborate outside of our type of library. We will explore some of these obstacles as well as the opportunities that effective collaboration can yield. By recognizing and addressing common obstacles, we can help build relationships with librarians from different fields which can help us better utilize our collective knowledge and skills.
