We often think of libraries and museums as separate entities, but library and museum theorist John Cotton Dana saw them as two entities that are complementary and intertwined. As libraries in the 21st century are pushed to make the case for their own value, Dana’s vision of the linked library and museum may provide opportunities to further communicate the value of both institutions to diverse communities. This presentation will explore the experiences of librarians at a public, land-grant institution and the impact that the integration of permanent museum spaces into the main campus library has had.

The Iron Triangle: The Library and Affordable Education Initiatives
Presented by:

- Karen McKeown, Director Discovery and Analytics, Gale, a part of Cengage Learning
- Mike Matousek, Director Library Relations, Cengage Learning, Cengage Learning
Session Description:
Access, Quality, and Cost are the “Iron Triangle” representing the trade offs of affordable education resources. You can’t address one side of this “triangle” without impacting the other two. Drawing upon a proprietary survey of over 500 faculty related to OER and other research and survey data from librarians, we explore the library’s role in helping break the triangle – from three different perspectives: the library content provider, an education technology/publisher and a research library director.
