Libraries are at a pivotal crossroads. Changes in technology, in research, and teaching and learning have created a very different context for health science libraries. This evolving context presents the question of how library leaders can reposition themselves to support research and education to create an environment where libraries can emerge as central and vibrant resources for their institutions.

Join library leaders from the Claremont Colleges (8/22) and the University of California Davis (8/29), as they discuss the intersection between research and education and the critical leadership role of the University Library for this Library Lecture Series. This event is free and open to the public.
