Inside Higher Ed highlighted remarks by USC Libraries Dean Catherine Quinlan in a story about the recent Association of Research Library (ARL) fall membership meeting. During a session on the future of research libraries, Quinlan spoke about how the USC Libraries seek out new ways to make special collections more accessible and immediately relevant to USC researchers. “[A] fundamental thing we try to do on our campus is not just to be reactors to what’s going on, but to be inciters—and encourage people to use our collections in ways they never thought possible or to discover things that they never thought they would be interested in,” she said.
