Connecting Academic Libraries Across PA

Welcome

Welcome to the College & Research Division of the Pennsylvania Library Association. This division provides a focus for the academic libraries in the state.

Each year the CRD division provides a spring workshop on a topic or topics relevant to academic libraries. Check out this year's workshop as well as past years' workshops through our website.

At the annual PaLA Conference, CRD sponsors sessions in the program that focus on academic libraries and a luncheon with an invited guest speaker.

Each year, CRD receives LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) grant money from the state library. This division then reviews grant applications from across the state for a portion of this LSTA grant money to be used in support of professional development and library programs for academic librarians and libraries.

And don't forget to check out It's Academic in the PaLA Bulletin.

Lehigh University's Linderman Library re-opened in March after a huge renovation project. Be sure to check out this historic library during the upcoming Spring/Summer Workshop.
