*Libraries in Direct Action*
In 2018, the core values of librarianship, including social responsibility,
education, democracy, and intellectual freedom, have faced one challenge
after another. How have academic and research libraries taken action to
confront these challenges? What are we doing to uphold these core values?
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 7th at Baruch College’s Vertical Campus in
Manhattan.
If you are interested, please note that ACRL/NY offers three scholarship
programs. *Awardees receive a waiver of registration fees*. Breakfast and
