How do we proactively think about the future of academic libraries when the infrastructures of trust–technological and social–upon which our profession depends, are under threat and challenged?
Join the Communications Community of Practice (a.k.a. the CommUNITY) for an open and thought-provoking discussion on how libraries are navigating and communicating through periods of disruption and change. In this session, we will explore how libraries are adapting in response to shifting technological landscapes, increasing financial pressures, and policy changes.
Our panel of speakers—representing a variety of roles and institutions—will share insights on the communication strategies, challenges, and opportunities that have emerged in their respective contexts.
