ALCTS Medium Heads Discussion Group on Succession Planning

The ALCTS Technical Services Administrators of Medium Sized Research
Libraries Discussion Group will meet at ALA Midwinter from 10:30-12 on
Sat. Jan. 12 in Franklin 4 of the Marriott. Our discussion topic is
"Succession Planning." Not only will many Deans/Directors of libraries
retire in the next few years, but also a multitude of Baby Boomers in
positions at every level are thinking about retiring. In the current
environment, the future of libraries could depend on the visionary
leadership of those who are fairly new to the field.  How do we prepare
for this sudden leaving of many of the top library managers in the
country? How do we develop the next generation of library leaders?
Small groups will conduct round table discussions based on a set of
supplied questions and then share their ideas with the room.


Roberta Winjum, Vanderbilt University Library, Discussion Group Chair
