UW Libraries - Libraries Student Advisory Committee

What is LSAC?		Schedule, Contacts, Links
The Library Student Advisory Committee (LSAC) is a chance for students to get involved in the decision making processes that guide the enhancement of learning spaces and library services. Libraries advance intellectual discovery and connect people with knowledge. They are interactive, interdisciplinary spaces for scholarship where technology and information come together. We need student help to do it right!		Winter Quarter 2008 meetings are from 4:30-5:30 in the OUGL Conference Room. Wednesday, January 23 Wednesday, February 13 with Betsy Wilson, Dean of the UW Libraries Wednesday, March 5 Contact Laura Barrett with questions about LSAC.
