Creating Change: Best Practices in Campus Advocacy
Saturday, June 21, 2003
4:30–6:00 pm
Delta Chelsea, Rosetti Room

Librarians increasingly understand the need to create change in scholarly communications. The challenge now is to engage faculty and administrators in adopting policies and practices that bring about change. In this forum, librarians and faculty members discussed their own experiences in deploying campus advocacy initiatives. The participants exchanged practical ideas on how to launch successful advocacy and education programs.
