Librarians Present at METRO New York Library Council Annual Conference

Librarians Elizabeth Berilla, Kimmy Szeto, and Joseph Williams took distinction in presenting a well-attended project briefing entitled “Three Books to the Wind: Reflections of Three Ship Librarians aboard the EMPIRE STATE VI.”  Their summary of experiences and challenges highlight the services of Elizabeth, Kimmy, and Joe as the ship’s librarians in 2010 and 2012, including print, digital, and popular services offered by the library underway.  Congratulations on a successful presentation!

The Librarians of the Stephen B. Luce Library are pleased to have attended the METRO New York Library Council Annual Conference on January 15, 2013.  The Conference, which was rescheduled from October 2012 due to Hurricane Sandy, challenged librarians, museum curators, communications professionals, and archivists to consider challenges to collections during a time of great transition, digitization, and collaboration amongst organizations.  Maritime College joined presenters from institutions such as Brooklyn College, New York University, Columbia University, New York City Department of Education, Wildlife Conservation Society, New York Botanical Gardens, Brooklyn Public Library, Archivists Roundtable, and the New York Philharmonic.
