April 13, 2012
York University Libraries hosted the 5th annual AUL Day on April 13, 2012.
Based on survey feedback, the theme for this year’s meeting was assessment.
We are grateful to our guest speakers, Kathryn Ball, Leslie Firth and Glenn Craney; thanks to
their participation we were able to explore the theme from both library-specific and institutional perspectives.
