Launching Your Star Potential: Leadership for Today’s Libraries symposium

Libraries are being reshaped. Traditional services and collections are being re-examined and profoundly re-envisioned. New models of service are being demanded and implemented. As long-time leaders retire, strong leadership skills are needed to manage this massive wave of change. At the same time, library leaders must also deal with significant changes in staffing, rapidly developing technologies, and scores of emerging standards. In addition, they must consider numerous external fiscal and social factors while simultaneously championing their own organizations and the library profession as a whole. This virtual symposium is comprised of five one-hour sessions. Sessions will be held each day from January 9 to 13, 2012 starting at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, 2pm Eastern
