WPL at ALA 2016

This year, I’ll be representing Whole Person Librarianship as a panelist at this ALA-ACRL session:

Connecting Individuals with Social Services: The Academic Library’s Role

Saturday, June 25 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM Orange County Convention Center, Room W108
Add it to your conference scheduler

As public libraries earn attention and kudos for connecting their users to needed social services, the question arises as to the role of the academic library in connecting our users with resources on services for mental and physical health, food security, housing, child care and other societal needs. Join a researcher into how libraries provide these connections along with a panel of student service providers for a lively discussion of the academic library’s potential role.

Our completeĀ panel is:

Samantha Hines
Head Librarian
Missoula College Library
Missoula, Montana

Natalie D’Azzo
Coordinator, Outreach & Nutrition, Wellness and Health Promotion Services
University of Central Florida, Florida

Sara Zettervall
