ULS Future of University Libraries Discussion Group

Charge

The Future of University Libraries Discussion Group organizes informal discussions that explore new directions in university libraries. Discussion ideas are drawn primarily from outside the library and information science literature in order to better support emerging practices and research. The Discussion Group also supports the ULS Executive Committee by brainstorming means through which ULS might better support university librarians in the future.
