12. Public programming, while perhaps not fully
representative of the emerging understanding
of “engagement,” was an especially fruitful
field for responses, with libraries reporting an
array of exhibits, book discussions, speaker
series, colloquia, and film series. A review of
previous SPEC Kit titles does not show any
recent study focused on public programming
in ARL member libraries, and this may be a
valuable topic for future study.
