Explore a library’s journey to institutional impact
Embedding the Library in the University’s Core Business reveals how libraries are transforming their role to become essential partners in research, teaching and learning.
Libraries have always been central to academic life, but today they are moving beyond resource management to align with institutional goals and strengthen connections with students and faculty. This shift is redefining the library as a strategic driver of academic success.
At The New School, Allen Jones, Senior Director for Digital Library and Technical Services, champions this broader view: “Libraries should not just be seen as content houses — they are critical infrastructure for teaching, learning and research.”
