As we meet together with the Chicago Association of Law Libraries, Marci Merola, Director Office for Library Advocacy American Library Association, will speak about the struggle all libraries are facing and how working in coalition strengthens advocacy efforts for every type of library in Illinois and nationally.
Media outlets demand a unique need for a library or information center within their company. Print, radio, TV and production companies can all benefit from having a dedicated person to manage their assets. This panel will discuss the significance of such collections and their growing need at stations or newspapers. We will also discuss how the economy and emerging technology has forced recent cuts in this field and the strain it places on these special libraries.
