Reimagining the Academic Library for the Student of Tomorrow
Session Abstract
In an increasingly digital world, the need for academic libraries to evolve has never been greater. This session will present key findings from our latest Librarian Futures report, focusing on the student perspective. Our research reveals significant gaps between students' expectations and the current offerings of academic libraries. For example, with Google as a primary research tool, libraries must bolster their online presence and engagement strategies.
This session aims to inspire academic libraries to innovate, adapt, and better cater to tomorrow's students. Attendees will gain insights into current challenges, receive recommendations for enhancing the student experience, and understand the evolving role of libraries in student success in the digital age.
