From the College Librarian: New Perspectives
September 25, 2022
Welcome to a new perspective on Library Perspectives, the newsletter of the Oberlin College Libraries. We have redesigned the 31-year-old newsletter, moved it to an e-format, and increased its frequency from biennial to triennial. Otherwise, it remains a trusted source for news and updates from the Oberlin College Libraries, where something is always happening.
Oberlin College Libraries provide access to millions of physical and e-resources—and more importantly, we teach our students and faculty the skills they need to assess those resources and turn all that information into knowledge, creativity, and innovation. Outreach and engagement are also critical to our success, with lively and informative programming from book talks and workshops to concerts and exhibitions.
In this newsletter, you will find stories about the many ways we partner with students and scholars in learning and research. You will also find out more about our collections, our partnerships, and the people who make it all accessible and inspiring. Oberlin’s Libraries are remarkable—and worth reading about. I hope you enjoy the new Library Perspectives.
