CULD
Promoting the interests of university and community college libraries and librarians across Texas.
As a member of TLA’s College and University Libraries Division (CULD), you have access to a strong network of academic librarians across the state. CULD offers extensive programming at the TLA Annual Conference, including Contributed Papers sessions which provide academics and graduate students a peer-reviewed forum to present their current research. Members also have access to the CULD listserv to facilitate communication and professional support.
Attend the CULD Virtual Fall Forum!
Looking for new ideas? Feeling isolated? Meet your library neighbors! Patrons use all types of libraries and librarians can grow professionally and better serve patrons by working together. Explore how academic, school, public, and special librarians can collaborate. Identify launch points for collaboration, hear stories of successful collaborations, and walk away with practical tools and tips for neighborly networking. We CULD be neighbors!
November 12, 2024: 12:00 – 2:00 p.m.
Get Involved!
Join one of the CULD committees or volunteer to help on their projects. Volunteering is an opportunity to show your support for academic libraries and meet librarians from across the Lone Star State.
