    Please join us as we host Reed graduate, librarian, and
    info-anthropologist, Char Booth '01, for a presentation and
    discussion on research and student scholarship, the culture of
    libraries, and the ever-changing landscape of information
    dissemination.  Char will share her own thesis experience and
    explain how it shaped her explorations into educational
    communication and our need to adapt and advocate for libraries to
    remain relevant vibrant centers of future scholarship.<br>
    <br>
    "When dissemination is part of the pedagogical process, it can build
    transformative learner insight into what it means to participate in
    a community of practice. Writing for a wider audience at the
    undergraduate level is a springboard for the cultivation of a
    student’s voice, interests, and expertise, and can expand the
    meaning of an assignment beyond a graded exercise."   <i>Char Booth
