Do libraries and archives need a makeover? In the ever-changing world of technology and trends, cultural institutions are continually reinventing themselves to increase their visibility and maintain their relevance. On Nov. 2, a free public event presented by UVic Libraries in partnership with the Greater Victoria Public Library and the Royal BC Museum will explore the important role that galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM) play in today’s society.

Join us for the 2017 University Librarian’s Annual Lecture at the Royal BC Museum for an evening of stimulating conversation with Librarian and Archivist of Canada Guy Berthiaume and journalist and community leader Jo-Ann Roberts. This informal dialogue will explore many themes including access to public programming, Indigenous language initiatives, fake news and the need for quality spaces, among many topics.

Everyone is welcome. Seating is limited. Please contact ulo@uvic.ca if you wish to be assured of a seat in advance.
