The ALCTS Administration of Collection Management Interest Group program

Communications. Prior to accepting this leadership position, she was the

over $15 million and was responsible for all aspects of the libraries
collection development strategy.  She is a past recipient of the Texas A&M

Please join us in a discussion led by our speaker on the shifting landscape for
liaisons.  In a March 2014 Ithaka brief, Anne Kenney (Cornell Univ.) addresses
this shift as a move from a collections-centric to an engagement-centered model
for librarianship.  This discussion will focus on questions about the evolving
role of liaisons and outreach services, what aspects should change that will
lead to added value for constituents,  and other ideas on leveraging resources
to move toward meaningful impact.
