Dawes, associate university librarian at Washington University in St. Louis, and past president of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), who will discuss the new and expanded roles that librarians are assuming. In addition there will be a panel discussion from 2:00-3:00 p.m. in Love Library, Room 110. \u00a0Trevor Dawes, along with\u00a0several Nebraska academic librarians, will discuss recent changes that have taken place\u00a0at their libraries.
