“The Innovative Library Classroom” is the recipient of the 2016 Beta Phi Mu Conference Support Award. This annual award provides a $500 grant to a new and/or small conference, symposium, forum, or similar event which is open to attendance by LIS practitioners and is aligned with Beta Phi Mu’s core values of scholarship, leadership, and service. “The Innovative Library Classroom,” to be held on May 12, 2016, in Radford, VA, will explore teaching and learning in the library environment.
Beta Phi Mu is the International Library and Information Science Honor Society.
