 “The Collaboration Imperative for Libraries"
Stephen Abram, Gale Cengage, Vice President Strategic Partnerships and Markets
CALC is honored to host Stephen Abram as a keynote speaker. Abram has said, “I despise puny visions. Library collaborations aren't about 5% discounts. We must get to where we collaborate and set social standards, drive social cohesion and encourage an ecology where positive learning and community experiences, discoveries and social engagement in our social institutions, workplaces and neighborhoods grow.” Learn more about this fascinating iconoclast’s view on revitalizing collaboration in libraries.
Stephen Abram, MLS, Vice President, Strategic Partnerships and Markets with Gale Cengage will present The Collaboration Imperative for Libraries. He is an SLA Fellow, Past President of SLA, the Ontario Library Association and the Canadian Library Association.
