on how to remain relevant to users. Librarians will discuss issues related to
ensuring that both undergraduate and graduate students find and use
authoritative, high-quality information resources. They will report on what
users are expecting to find, how they are expecting to interact with the
content and the community, and the findability/usability issues that they, as
librarians working in the trenches, believe must be addressed for content
providers to remain relevant now and into the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
