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!	Spring Quarter 2009 meeting: May 14, 2009, 5pm, Odegaard Library Conference Room Contact Anne Davis or Amanda Hornby with questions about LSAC.
