CHICAGO — The Association for Library Collections and Technical
Services (ALCTS) presents this symposium on Friday, Jan. 8, 2016, 8:00
am to 4:00 pm at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter
Meeting in Boston.

“Re-envisioning ‘Technical Services’ to Transform Libraries:
Identifying Leadership and Talent Management Practices” will explore
how libraries can recruit and cultivate staff who can serve as both
leaders and contributors and provide insight into talent management,
including identifying and nurturing leaders; succession planning;
promoting diversity; and connecting staff with the best training
options throughout their careers. Keynote speakers are Keith Webster,
dean of university libraries and director of emerging and integrative
media initiatives, Carnegie Mellon University, and Jenica Rogers,
director of libraries and college archives, Dorf endowed director of
applied learning, State University of New York at Potsdam.

Other featured speakers are Meredith A. Taylor, Provost’s Office, UT
Austin and co-author of the ARL Spec Kit on Talent Management, who
will also lead breakout sessions, and Sylvia Hall-Ellis, adjunct
professor at San Jose State University. A trio of case studies to
support early, middle and advanced career stages will be offered by
Jacob Nadal, ReCAP; Elyssa M. Gould, University of Michigan Law
Library; and Angela Kinney, Library of Congress. The Program Committee
will report preliminary research results on their survey of talent
management attitudes and practices in three types of academic
libraries.
