As higher ed faces more challenges, how can libraries play a greater role in student success and in other institutional goals? Today they are offering strategic value to a campus as hubs for student services, learning technologies, and academic innovation.

How can libraries — and librarians — continue to play their pivotal roles on campuses in the current environment, where enrollment and budget issues abound? Watch the discussion from the on-demand Virtual Forum featuring experts who discussed the evolving role and strategic value of libraries, including:

  • How libraries create inclusive spaces
  • How libraries may transform in the decade ahead
  • How librarians can shape the ethical use of technologies such as AI

With Support From the University of South Florida.
