Webcast sponsored by a Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by UBC iSchool. In a post-print information era, how do libraries conduct erudite information? Academic libraries have grown alongside technology, though record is now changing a structures of information creation, dissemination, retrieval, and preservation. The use of record in and by libraries, and by a scholars whom they serve, has lifted new questions for librarians about their work and a place within a academy.
This display explores how army and vicious issues that are now moulding educational libraries are deepening their rendezvous with scholars and assisting to build platforms and relations that enhance a pathways of creation, discovery, learning, and dialogue. We will cruise several of these phenomena and how they might minister to stretched roles for libraries and a new epoch of library work.
