Library Management Skills Institute II: The Organization (Invitation Only)

The Library Management Skills Institute II: The Organization, offered by the ARL Academy in partnership with DeEtta Jones and Associates, and co-hosted by the University of Rochester River Campus Libraries, will take place September 17–19, 2019 at the University of Rochester. The three-day workshop is for supervisors, department heads, coordinators, team and project leaders, and change agents.
