Session Description
Librarians have long sought to be agents of change in our communities. This vision has been realized more readily in the public library setting, but more academic libraries are extending their reach beyond the campus confines. This presentation explores some of the ways in which this shift is happening in academic libraries and the new roles that librarians are playing in these settings to engage the broader community.
