1) Keynote: We're pleased to announce that Stanley Wilder is our keynote, and he's very enthused by our topic and has lots to offer on the subject. It wasn't possible to have the other candidate speak. More to follow.
2) Panel: Please see discussion below about panel. I like Joe's suggestion that it not be a reaction to the speaker, but address this issue: "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". Need your " feedback on panelists....if this is our topic, then Marie Radford/Rutgers, Valeda Dent/AUL Rutgers could be excellent. Other names?
All: Let's decide on possible speaker choices by next Monday, June 15. post your comments in discussion item below.
Option: We can have F2F meeting on June 19, 10-noon at Grad Center to go over the panel. Anyone want to do this or can we just meet via this blog??
3) Announcement: Here's text that we can send out for Save the date announcements. I'll send this to ACRLNY and LACUNY by Friday, June 12 if there are no further comments. All: please review by Thurs. June 11 and think of other list servs to post this to after final o.k.
LACUNY Institute 2009 “Library Leadership: The Next Generation.”
When and Where? October 23, 2009 at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City.
According to recent estimates, academic libraries are undergoing a significant demographic shift that is dramatically changing the make-up of the profession. At the heart of this transformation is the uniquely large proportion of veteran librarians nearing retirement age and the potential impact of the perceived “graying of the profession.” In addition to raising concern about a possible “brain drain,” this development has also prompted a closer examination of the attitudes and characteristics of the newer generation of librarians poised to assume leadership. This conference will be addressing these issues.

Our web content files can be sent to Steve Ovadia/Junior Tidal for posting.
(Danielle, could you do this when we have content--see below).
5) Conference website:
For the site, we'll need to have the call for posters there, plus preliminary program. (Joe, can you work on this with Danielle)?

I think the announcement is good, and should be sent asap so we're not "behind" ACRL.

Brian -
I will share the vendor responsibility with you if you'd like. I've been out of commission for most of the week so I apologize for the delayed response. Also, just saw the announcements on ACRL and CULIBS!
that would be great sarah! have got the list of vendors, and will craft msg. to them. last year vendors got their logo on the site on sponsors page. (we've done more elaborate things in the past--vendor tables), but i believe there's limited room at gc....we can sketch this out...
