Students Are Evolving, Are Libraries Adapting?

Today’s academic libraries face challenges to the traditional model.  Students are using technology, social media, and academic spaces in new ways. How are librarians educating the students of today and supporting their needs?

The LACUNY Institute seeks to explore strategies and address best practices promoting new library models. These strategies and practices may include: renovation needs, new electronic resources, changes to the ways physical space is used, improved marketing and/or signage, new modes of collaboration, alternate library partnerships, changes in design, and/or changes in library service platforms, among others.

Supporting Research through Complimentary Scholarly Publishing Workshops: Through Elsevier’s commitment to research, scholarly communication and outreach, we strive to support and train early- to mid-career researchers. From the beginnings of research preparation through to getting published, peer review and self-promotion, researchers can draw from the free service publishing workshops that Elsevier offers. During Elsevier’s session at LACUNY Institute, we will review several of the options offered that can potentially improve the chances of building a successful research journey. Complimentary services that are aimed at, plagiarism, grant writing, the journal publishing cycle, authorship and responsibilities, the review process and several others are topics to review.
