RLG Programs Update
Open to all

We tried something different this time around, and had a number of different program officers give updates on a range of projects (rather than focusing on one or two projects).

All program officers who attended ALA Midwinter were at this session and gave reports on projects we have recently completed or have underway. In addition, partner institutions learned about ways to become more engaged.
