MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM FOR LIBRARIANS

TRLN MANAGEMENT ACADEMY: THE BUSINESS OF LIBRARIES

On behalf of the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), I invite
you to apply for the sixth TRLN Management Academy, to be held in
October 2015. This unique experiential learning program prepares
current or new mid-level managers in academic libraries to operate
with entrepreneurial and business acumen in the management of
financial and human resources. Appropriate candidates will be
librarians in the early stages of a management career (for example,
new department heads, assistant heads, or team leaders) who have high
potential and notable talent. Nominees should already be grounded in
the fundamentals of supervision.

The program is designed with input from directors of TRLN libraries to
support talent management and succession planning efforts by
addressing gaps in the preparation of librarians for management roles.
Academic faculty and university administrators from TRLN universities
present sessions customized for a library environment on the topics
of:

·         Strategy and leading change

·         Resource planning

·         Influence and communication

·         Performance management

·         Organizational culture and diversity.

Library administrators and practitioners serve as panelists to provide
a context for application of the program of study to the current
academic library environment.

Tuition for non-TRLN members is $2000 for the five-day intensive
seminar, October 26-30, 2015. Tuition includes all program materials,
continental breakfast, and lunch. Participants or their home
institutions are responsible for travel expenses, lodging, and evening
subsistence costs.

Up to 32 participants will be accepted from academic libraries, with
approximately one-half of the slots allocated to TRLN member
libraries. Candidates will submit applications and selections will be
made by a selection committee.

Applicants must provide a letter of support from the library director
along with all application materials by July 24, 2015. Selections will
be announced by August 14, 2015.

TRLN is a collaborative organization of Duke University, North
Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, and The
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the purpose of which is
to marshal the financial, human, and information resources of their
research libraries through cooperative efforts in order to create a
rich and unparalleled knowledge environment that furthers the
universities' teaching, research, and service missions.
