Abstract
At the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry structural deficits, merciless profiteering, and amorphous institutional priorities have made it arduous to fulfill our traditional role in the campus community. Leadership turnover at the institutional level has further compounded the challenges we face. Two paths were in front of us: languish in institutional ruts or capitalize on our assessment-informed knowledge to define our course of action. We chose to re-deploy our resources to re-center the library in the campus community. This is a one-year update on how the library has integrated itself as infrastructure between the Office of Research Programs, Office of Communications and Marketing, and the various academic and research units on campus.
