Did you not study in theater or dance as an undergraduate, and now as a

This workshop will familiarize participants with dance and theater studies
resources for the purposes of reference, instruction, and collection
development. Print and online resources will be explored using a hands-on
approach.

Sessions are based on the ARLIS/NA Postcards from the Edge series, with
