In partnership with the Gregg-Graniteville Library, the Callen Center for Engaged Teaching and Learning (CCETL) is excited to facilitate the Library Advantage Workshop (LAW) Series. This series of workshops enables faculty to connect with librarian colleagues in meaningful ways, exploring strategies to enhance teaching, support student learning, and strengthen the impact of research. Each session highlights practical approaches and creative collaborations that demonstrate the powerful role librarians play across disciplines. These sessions aren’t just about what’s in the library—they’re about what’s possible when we work together.
