Description
This ASU Science Book Discussion Poster was presented at the STS Research Forum and Poster Session in Chicago in conjunction with ALA 2013.
Programming is an essential part of library services. Having a regular program at the library and a wide distribution list raises awareness of the library to those associated with the university and beyond. Through programming, libraries demonstrate the vital role they play in the community. The ASU Science Book Discussion began meeting in the summer of 2011.
