In addition to our tried-and-true collaging/post cards, Alex O…[Read more]

It’s…[Read more]

Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoHi librarian hive mind. I was wondering how many other librarians, esp. in art & design schools and universities, put on “fun” workshops for their students and/or faculty. If so, do you get any pushback from administration because it’s not specifically research-related? How do you justify it to those who object? At Columbus College of Art & Design…[Read more]
