Based on all feedback, here's final draft for panel--let's discuss these points at our F2F meeting this Friday, June 19, at Graduate Center, 10-noon. Meeting place: 18th century room in the Grad Center library. Thanks to all who confirmed interest in attending this!
Panel topic: a general discussion about what is unique or significant about so-called "next generation" librarians and where do people see them leading academic libraries in the 21st century.
Moderator: possibly Marie Radford (Brian to contact her if she's interested, etc.). She recently presented at METRO on intergenerational librarian collaboration. Brian to contact her week of June 15.
Paneslists: 3-4 from CUNY libraries, to be solicited via CULIBS--selection to be based on submission of brief statement (we need to craft this, etc.) (Joe, can you draft application instructions and selection criteria?) do we want 2 "boomers" and 2 genexers representing different viewpoints on the "generational" issue??

Brian's suggestion of 2 boomers and 2 genexers representing different points of view sounds good. A message to CULIBS soliciting CUNY library faculty for the panel is fine.

Can we find better terms for soliciting participation or do we think that boomers and genexers is OK? I don't like "veterans" so much either. Something along the lines experience and newcomers?

What if we said we were seeking a cross-generational panel? We can ask people to self-identify into a generational label if we don't want to do it ourselves. For example, in the call for participation, we can have a couple of required questions for the interested parties like "What generational label do you most identify with?", etc.
I really like Sarah's suggestions--the intergenerational question is excellent!
~Brian
How do we feel about this?

Joe - fantastic! I think this will be a tremendous help in selecting appropriate panelists and saves us the problem of labeling people.
