ALCTS e-Forum: Middle Managers in the 21st Century Library

April 19-20, 2016

Moderated by Xan Arch and Laura Turner

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

What are the opportunities and challenges currently facing middle managers
in technical services? The middle manager must be both a practitioner
involved in the day-to-day work and a leader for the library. What
challenges does this present for staff management and for the identity of
the manager? How does the manager balance their operational and strategic
roles? How will the middle manager’s role change as technical services
changes?

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
