Are you interested in where academic libraries are headed? The 2017 ACRL/NY
Symposium will be a day to take stock of the history of our profession and
its contemporary challenges and opportunities, and to revisit the academic
and research library core mission of mediator between student, faculty and
researcher populations and the wider information world. Speakers, poster
sessions, discussion and networking opportunities will focus on how the
mission of the academic library has been adapted for the twenty-first
century research, teaching, publishing and mass communication environments.
Produced annually by the Greater New York Metropolitan Chapter of the
Association of College and Research Libraries, this year’s event will take
place on Friday, December 1st at Baruch College’s Vertical Campus in
Manhattan.
