The Student Library Advisory Board (SLAB) is an open forum for students to voice their concerns, ideas, and feedback regarding library-related issues. It’s our way of inviting students to make their voices heard, engage in a community of peers from across the University, and highlight areas for the library to improve. We meet over lunch every month during the fall and spring academic semesters.
When? 12:00PM - 1:30PM on one Friday each month, starting on September 19th, 2025
Where? Bird Library, Lower Level, Room 004 Seminar Spector Room
Food? Always! We are ordering lunch through campus catering. Please let Abby know if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies.
Interested in joining next semester? Contact Abby at askasowi@syr.edu for more information.
SLAB's recommendations help to incorporate student needs and concerns as they relate to library services, resources, and spaces. Feedback is always anonymized and only shared with library administration.
We welcome membership from all Syracuse University schools and colleges, majors, and years. Both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate, and it looks great on a resume! There is an application process each semester where interested students are invited to apply and are selected by Libraries staff.
Meetings are once every month during the fall and spring semesters. Meetings are held in-person and usually take place in Bird Library, Room 004 (Spector Seminar Room).
Absolutely! Please send an email to Abby Kasowitz-Scheer at askasowi@syr.edu, and she will help you get involved from wherever you are.
