About the Event

Susan Gibbons, Vice Provost and Dean of River Campus Libraries at the
University of Rochester, NY, will present this year's lecture, "Aligning
Academic Libraries with Real User Needs." Gibbons' innovative work with
anthropologist Nancy Fried Foster to study the research behavior of
undergraduates has gained attention from libraries around the world.
Their findings have been presented in the co-edited book Study Students:
The Undergraduate Research Project at the University of Rochester (ALA,
2007) and covered by the Chronicle of Higher Education (8/17/07). She
will speak about her experiences with this project and the illumination
and guidance it has provided in offering library services in the new
century.
