Dear IRRT members,

Hope everyone had a good summer. I wanted to call your attention to a program that the roundtable will be hosting in late September called "Mapping Library Contributions of Campus Internationalization," with guest speakers from several other universities. I just sent an announcement out on CULIBS but am also copying the info below. Hope to see you there!

Friday, September 26, 2014
2:30pm to 4pm
Room C201
CUNY Graduate Center
365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10016

Presenters: Steve Witt (University of Illinois), Laurie Kutner (University of Vermont), and Elizabeth Cooper (University of Colorado, Denver).

The presenters surveyed U.S. academic libraries to establish baseline data on their contributions to campus internationalization activities. Additionally, follow-up interviews were conducted with library deans and directors to elucidate a deeper picture of the intersection of the academic library and campus internationalization. The presenters will both summarize the results of their research and facilitate discussion on how the results reflect (or not) the specific institutional experiences of CUNY librarians. Additionally, the presenters will facilitate discussion on how libraries can move forward with internationalization, including developing best practices and assessing the academic library’s support for campus internationalization efforts.
