When you make decisions about services, do you focus first on your library users? Do you know what perceptions your campus community - both library users and non-users - have of your library? Are you aware of CLIC member library activities focusing on their users? On October 24, CLIC's annual conference will delve into user-focused issues, with an emphasis on recent research.
