Holt's
Perspectives:
June 19, 2007: DCPL and SirsiDynix: Watching and Hoping at ALA
As many of us prepare to travel to Washington, Glen Holt provides us
with some humorous, and not so humorous, thoughts to have on our way to
ALA Annual.
May 8, 2007: Learning from Others
In this
"Perspectives" column, Glen Holt examines several topics that kept his interest during his brief vacation.
Well, most of us are about to pack our bags and go spend a few days (or
longer) in a place that is hot and muggy. Which is to say that
it’s time for another ALA Annual Conference!
So this month we asked our panelists to explain what motivates them to attend ALA and other similar conferences:
• Why do you go/not go to ALA (PLA, ACRL and other similar large gatherings)?
• What do you see as the value of ALA (et.al.) to current and future library leaders?
• What conferences are of greatest value to you? Why?
• How would you like to see the ALA conference change?
• What other relevant comments would you care to make?

Now that the
2008 Presidential campaign is underway (ugh!), we thought it high time
for the LLN Peer Panel to discuss Politics and the Library. Where
there are people, there are politics, and as we well know, the internal
and external politics of an organization become more and more visible
(and unavoidable) as we climb the career ladder. So, we asked the
following questions or our established library leaders:
- What
practices and processes have you found to be effective in dealing with
library politics—the politics within the library as well as those that
affect the library and its mission?
- What successes and blunders that you have witnessed would you care to share with our readers?
- What advice would you give future library leaders—those who are about to become exposed--about politics?
