The LACUNY Institute is an annual, one-day conference open to LIS
professionals, students, and the general public. It is organized by the
Library Association of the City University of New York (LACUNY), and
although geared to academic librarians, it strives to have broad relevance
to the profession.  For more information about LACUNY, please visit
