Libraries are at a pivotal crossroads. New technologies, changing study habits, and efforts to manage the rising costs of higher education put both their facilities and purpose in flux—questioning how the library continues to support research, education, and care in a digital age. As colleges and universities grapple with this changing educational context, there is a growing need to understand what’s next, specifically for the health science-focused academic library.

Join university librarians from UC Davis (12/6), University of Calgary (12/13), and Oregon Health & Science University (12/15), as they discuss the intersection between research and education and the critical leadership role of the university library for this UCSF Library lecture series.
