Tagging in Ian McDermott (@imcdermott) and Sarah Cohn (@scohn), both of whom I’m sure you know already. They’re both participating in our CALI and will be best positioned to connect the curriculum and policy thinking we do there with your projects and efforts by librarians across CUNY on this front.
