College Libraries Section

New from CLS!

The CLS Website of the Month is Colby College.  

ACRL Member of the Week Feature

Since 2008, the ACRL Insider Weblog has featured almost a hundred members in Member of the Week profiles, showcasing their “innovation, talent, creativity, energy, and dedication.”  A slideshow of past profiles at http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/about/membership/members.cfm reflects the diversity and dedication of ACRL members.

Let’s share the good work of academic librarianship and CLS members.  If you would like to be featured or nominate a colleague as ACRL Member of the Week, contact Mary Jane Petrowski at mpetrowski@ala.org for more information.

Mission Statement: The purpose of the College Libraries Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries is "to advance college librarianship and encourage the development of library services in baccalaureate degree-granting institutions."
