I have already purchased a package of adhesive labels. They are 3 1/3" x 4" white shipping labels, and hope this size will be OK with you. I can handle the badge printing. Sarah: thank you for your willingness to help. Your help at the registration table will be great and appreciated! I think we can simply use the program evaluation form from last year. If you all agree, I can help on making the copies. I can help on other things at the conference after the registration. Please let me know. Songqian

As we prepare, here's task list update--please respond to items with your name!


1) Poster finalists--we've got 3 finalists. thanks Joe for work on this!

2) Vendor support--any word yet, Jane or Sharon?

3) We aren't doing the webcast--Joe, myself, Jane and I decided that it wasn't worth the time and effort given a variety of factors.

3) Songqian is now getting questions from registrants and will be forwarding them to BL, JF, and JD for advice on answering these. thanks Songqian for the work on the registrations!

4) Regarding registration/handout materials--I recommended that we keep this conference green as possible--no folders, no bags, no notepads, no plastic badges (just paper adhesive badges) maybe just a handout with program info, plus evaluation form. All, what are your thoughts?

7) Please promote the event! Send out the registration announcement....we've taken care of ACRLNY, CULIBS, METRO-L, SUNYLA, Joe, can you send to the Palmer School, LIU, Rutgers, etc.--the same list servs you did before?

Revised mission statement

Conference Mission (final to be posted on website)

Libraries are undergoing a significant demographic shift that is dramatically changing the profession. At the heart of this transformation is the large proportion of veteran librarians nearing retirement age and the potential impact of the perceived "graying of the profession." This development has also prompted a closer examination of the new generation of librarians poised to assume leadership. To contribute to the dialogue regarding the future of academic library leadership, this conference will address the following questions:


--Are academic libraries really experiencing a so-called "graying of the profession"? If so, what are we potentially losing in terms of experience, expertise, and institutional memory?
--What are libraries doing to ensure these qualities will be passed on to the next generation of library leaders?
--What are the characteristics of so-called "next gen librarians" and how will their entry into the profession impact academic libraries?
--How do we address generational differences within the workplace without fostering unnecessary stereotypes or division?
--How are changes within the profession influenced by or reflective of larger social, political, and cultural transformations?

Update: Afternooon panel?, etc.

We've gotten excellent applicants for the panel which Joe, Jane and I have screened.
Given this, and since we've only gotten 2 viable posters so far (though deadline is extended to Sept.14), we are thinking of having a 2nd panel in the p.m. We might be contacting all via email for further input on this.

Danielle is now working on the website, so please give her speaker bios, etc. that should go into that. I realize we don't have all the vendors lined up yet, so their listings will have be added later, and also if we do have the p.m. panel, we'll need to include that in the website. The website will be up and ready early September, and we're proposing an opening registration date for Sept. 8, after Labor Day.

Songqi is currently on vacation thru end of August, but she has worked with Steven Ovadia to get a Paypal registration link.

Please check the last published "Assignments List" (6/19/09) on this blog and notify all if changes needed for deadlines, etc.
