2) Understand how to partner with units and organizations within and outside your own organization to facilitate revenue generation and entrepreneurship,

Abstract

At Brooklyn College, technology and library staff took an entrepreneurial approach to meeting technology needs, improving budgets, fostering creativity, and demonstrating value. We’ve developed 8 products, including an award-winning CMS used by 8 CUNY libraries and a user-friendly book scanner. We hope to spur broader collaboration among libraries.
