It's Academic

Date: Thursday, April 16, 2015

Location: Holiday Inn Harrisburg East, Harrisburg

Save the date for the ACLCP (Associated College Libraries of Central Pennsylvania) Spring Conference! This year’s theme is “The Evolving Academic Library”. Take this opportunity to learn about the continuing changes in physical space, the new generation of students, and even our very jobs themselves.

Attend the conference and discover how libraries continue to evolve and what your job might look like in the near future. Stay for the afternoon and learn about Generation Z, the next generation of students who are soon to hit college campuses.

Details on the programs are pending, so stay tuned, but please note that this year’s conference takes place on a THURSDAY.

For more information, contact the ACLCP Programs Committee Co-Chairs, Ben Hoover (bahoover@bucknell.edu) and Denise Shorey (dshorey@ycp.edu).

Attention readers: If you enjoy writing and blogging about academic libraries, the CRD has a great opportunity for you. The content for our blog has largely been generated by members of CRD board; however, we’re tired of hearing our own voices! This year, we are asking for volunteers who would be willing to contribute more original content to our blog (yes, this blog!). Volunteers would be part of a CRD “blog team” where each individual would be placed on a rotating schedule and asked to write and post content on a regular basis. Posts may consist of news, event announcements, commentary, or opinions relating to your own experience in academic libraries and/or academic libraries in general. If you enjoy writing and wish to share your ideas with a broader community, we would love to have you join our team. Although no prior experience with blogging is required, volunteers will need to create their own WordPress.com accounts in order to post to the blog. If you are interested in learning more or volunteering to be part of the team, please contact Katie Stewart, the CRD’s Social Media Coordinator, at katie.stwrt@gmail.com or 717-871-7122.

Please feel free to forward this message to your fellow colleagues or anyone else you know of that might be interested.

Thank you!

“The Maker Movement & You: Creating, Collaborating, and Crafting in your Library”

SugarLoaf Hill, Chestnut Hill College, April 24^th, 9:30am to 3:30pm

TCLC (Tri-State College Library Cooperative) invites all library staff to explore ways you can turn your library into a maker space, a place where library and user interest converge to create ideas, projects or objects – and all on a shoestring budget! See how academic and public libraries are collaborating within their communities. Come learn how to prime your physical space for innovation and creation.
