You think this game has changed? Check out ours!
Football and libraries have more in common than you may think. In My Library Story with Coach Greg Gattuso, you will read about how football has evolved dramatically throughout the last 50 years, but the spirit of the game remains the same.
I think that's true of libraries, as well. The services we provide, the tools we employ, and the spaces we offer are different today than in previous decades. Yet the University Libraries remain committed to supporting the learning and research needs of our campus.
This is clear to see in a profile of our Marching Great Danes and how they use the Libraries. Elsewhere in this edition we take a deep dive into Special Collections and Archives to revisit the 1973 football season, the first varsity campaign at UAlbany. We also asked faculty and staff to share what they're excited about heading into the football season.
Thank you for your continued support of the University Libraries, and let's go Great Danes!
