ACRL provides opportunities for professional librarians to connect, collaborate and learn from each other. We all have the same goals of providing the best service possible to our campus communities and this organization helps us connect and continue to grow as professionals.

What do you as an academic librarian contribute to your campus?

91´«Ã½

As an academic librarian I get the amazing opportunity to connect with students in a variety of ways to help enrich their student experience and hopefully along the way I am teaching them life-long research skills that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.

In your own words

91´«Ã½

Academic librarianship embodies life-long learning and propels us to continue to grow, adapt, connect and engage with our students...and our colleagues. As an academic librarian, I get the amazing opportunity and great pleasure to be a small part of helping students succeed and find their purpose in this world. This is a career that allows me to continuously learn something new every day!
