Media and Popular Culture: Effects on Academic Libraries

 

Registration is now open for the ACRL New England Chapter Annual
Conference.

 

This year's conference will explore how libraries are adapting to the
interactions of popular culture, new media technologies, and scholarly
pursuits in higher education. Please join us to examine the library's
role in a landscape of Web 2.0 and open access publishing and to
consider how we can develop relevant service models in this environment.
