Library Connect Our aim is to partner with librarians and - through advocacy, events, and resource-sharing - demonstrate their importance in the information economy and support them in their work and profession. Description The Library Connect initiative expands Elsevier's ongoing library relationships and creates new ones. This initiative offers an array of information and opportunities, ranging from the new quarterly newsletter Library Connect to workshops and seminars, collaborative initiatives, and research activities. Library Connect builds on Library Consult, an earlier and successful project in Southeast Asia which encompassed a newsletter and seminar series. Today, Elsevier invites librarians to share ideas, suggestions, and thoughts on how they wish to see the Library Connect initiative develop further - with local, regional or global efforts.
