Franklin Lecture Series
In 2013, sponsored by the William Hoard Doane Library, I inaugurated The Carolyn Craig and Dr. Carl M. Franklin Lecture Series. This series featured librarians, artists, writers, and public intellectuals dealing with issues related to the field of library and information science.
Lunch*Learn*Library
In 2016, I developed the Lunch*Learn*Library Lecture Series in the J. Robert Oppenheimer Study Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory. This informal video series featured the best presentations and keynotes from library conferences, industry, and scholarly societies. This initiative provided an opportunity to engage in professional development and meet with colleagues without leaving the national security environment of the Lab.
Horizons Series
In 2018, in collaboration with the Department of Learning & Applied Innovation, I developed the Horizons Colloquium Series. This series features a diverse mix of librarians, instructional designers, inventors, scholars, and innovators exploring disciplining boundaries in teaching, learning, and scholarly communication.
Open and Equitable Scholarship in the Liberal Arts Lecture Series
Oberlin Group members share a belief that scholarship and data should be universally accessible and equally available to scholars and readers worldwide. As leaders we are committed to working towards this goal through a range of actions, in order to make resources as open as possible and facilitate scholarship, teaching and learning both within and outside of our group. Communicate, as a group or individually, commitments or statements in support of projects that advance open access, open data, open educational resources, and open publishing.
