April 2015
The ACRL ITIG held two events this year: 1. The annual Digicamp, hosted by Simmons College, in March 2015, and the first Digital Roadshow, hosted by Southern New Hampshire University, in April, 2015. Both events were successful.
We plan to repeat the Digicamp next year and expand the Digital Roadshow events.
