WiLS August 2015 Member Interview: Marc Boucher, Lake Superior State University

One of our greatest joys at WiLS is hearing our members tell the stories of the big and important work they are doing – interesting new projects or initiatives, or even interesting and new approaches to old projects. And, in addition to hearing about it, it makes us even happier when we can share those stories with other members. Each month, WiLS is proud to feature an interview with one of our library members. This month, we interview Marc Boucher, Library Director at Lake Superior State University, former WiLS Board member, and first Michigander WiLS member!

This interview is part of a series of interviews with both WiLS member and vendor partners. Your feedback is appreciated. If you have any to offer on this article, or suggestions for upcoming interviews, contact Andrea Coffin at . Read more
