Re-Conceiving Entrepreneurship For Libraries: Collaboration And The Anatomy Of A Conference, Mary Scanlon, Michael Crumpton

Subject librarians’ relationships with their departments provided opportunities to host events in venues other than the library, which helped, facilitate access to a diverse audience. An established cooperative relationship with the University of Oregon made it possible to …
