ARL Library Liaison Supervisors Meeting

More than 10 ARL libraries have hosted local versions of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Liaison Institute since the initial ARL Pilot Library Liaison Institute in 2015. Have these institutes, which are designed to introduce strategies for increased liaison engagement with faculty and other university researchers, achieved their objectives? Are librarians shifting to new ways of working with researchers and with each other? Which aspects of the institutes are succeeding, and which need further attention? Join other liaison supervisors and senior library leaders at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting 2018 for a panel discussion featuring senior colleagues who have hosted ARL Liaison Institutes and will share lessons learned and key observations.
