3. BiblioTech Program and 2013 Conference
The goal of BiblioTech's conferences from 2011 to 2013 was to bridge the gap between doctoral
students and leadership roles in the private sector industry. SU justifies the BiblioTech program by
discussing how PhDs develop skills in the university, like communication, mindset, talent,
management, and technology. These skills are considered essential for leadership roles in society.

you never imagined possible—and love it!"
