This year's theme was The Voice of the Student.
The voice of the student echoes into every corner of community college librarianship, but how do we make sure we’re really listening?
As librarians, we have a responsibility to ensure our students’ voices are heard. We heard your student-centered proposals on any of the following topics:Collections, Instruction, Assessment, Student data, Services, Technology, Equity barriers, Social and emotional needs, Open Educational Resources, and Serving diverse and minority communities.
The conference was held on Friday, October 25th, 2019 virtually and was free to attend.
