The ACRL Value of Academic Libraries and New Roles and Changing Landscapes Committees are pleased to once again host a Trend Talk online Wednesday, April 15, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT. Panelists will share their successful strategies for measuring or communicating library value in campus initiatives around retention, student success, or belonging. Participants will have the opportunity to dive deeper into discussion with the panelists and other attendees in breakout rooms. We’ll round out the event with a summary of tools and strategies you can use to advocate successfully at your institutions.
