ALAO Presentations

Researcher Revolt panel

There were two presentations at this year's Academic Library Association of Ohio meeting (Oct. 25-26 in Wilmington, OH) in which Ohio Five staff participated.  Alan Boyd (Oberlin) moderated a panel discussion at the "Researcher Revolt" preconference which was organized by Meghan Frazer, recently departed from the staff at Kenyon.   During the conference itself, Meghan, Emily Gattozzi (OWU) and Alan gave a well-attended presentation on "The Next Generation Library: Integrating Digital Collections into the Liberal Arts Curriculum".  Alan provided a general background on the grant while Meghan and Emily showcased individual collections.  The presentation then turned into a lively question and answer session including "lessons learned" and "take aways" for the audience who commented favorably on the level of inter-institutional collaboration and faculty engagement we've worked to create.
