One of the challenges facing academic libraries now is the retirement of boomer-age librarians in leadership positions. This issue raises various concerns: what exactly is the scope of such retirements--is it a real problem? what are the characteristics of the new generations--Gen X, and others-- of librarians who are moving into leadership positions? how diverse are the incoming leaders. Do the generational lablels ("GenX", "GenY") adequately characterize the incoming academic library leaders? how must the culture of academic libraries change to accomodate the new leaders?
