College & University Section Luncheon
With thanks to Heather Craven, Nutley Public Library, for her notes!
ACRL-NJ Chapter awards were presented, and incoming Chapter President Nicole Cooke was welcomed. Pam Snelson of Franklin and Marshall College spoke on Ammunition for Advocacy. She spoke on the importance of advocating for library services from the point of view of those who determine library funding. For example, a provost at one college might be most interested in how the library contributes to retention rates, while another might be more interested in knowing that the library fosters diversity by being a welcoming space for minority students. Snelson stressed that library advocates must find out the core values of stakeholders (usually provosts for academic libraries) and tailor messages to those values.
