Library

How are libraries to deliver innovative and value-added
services with static or shrinking operating budgets? There are ways to engage
new funding sources through strategic partnerships without compromising your
goals and objectives. To achieve this will require new approaches and attitudes
borrowed from community development, political advocacy, and business.
The presentation will provide detailed explanation of these
concepts and how to put them into use in your own library. It will be argued
that this approach can also provide a stable and expanding future for operating
funding. It is the perfect time to be a community institution that is
“all things to all people”.
Eric Stackhouse is Chief
Librarian of the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library. A graduate of both the University of Toronto
and the University
of Western Ontario, he
has worked in school, university, and public libraries. A strong advocate of a
community development role for libraries, Eric has a particular interest in
rural library services and how they can play a role in providing a future for
small communities. Originally from Saint John,
he now resides in Pictou County,
Nova Scotia.
Evidence
Based Library and Information Practice - The Canadian Scene
September 21, 2005
11:30 am - 12:30 pm ET
Susan Cleyle, Associate
University Library, Memorial University
of Newfoundland
Members $55 Non-members $75
Evidence Based Librarianship is not a new idea but recent
conferences have dealt with this topic (England 2001, Alberta,
Canada 2003 and Australia
October 2005) and raised awareness. The result is a growing interest
in building a body of evidence so librarians can make the best service
decisions possible. Three Canadian librarians (Denise
Koufogiannakis- University of Alberta, Lindsay Glynn- Memorial and Su Cleyle-
Memorial) have been working to organize a Canadian EBL organization.
They co-founded CLA's newest Interest Group - EBLIG amd are also working
to establish a journal dedicated to this topic. Come to this talk to learn more
about evidence based librarianship, what is happening on the Canadian scene and
what you can do to become involved. Time will be set aside for a
discussion of EBL issues that are of interest to you, so don't miss out on this
teleconference!
Susan
Cleyle has a B.A. from Mount Allison
University and an M.L.I.S. from Dalhousie University. She is Associate University
Librarian at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Prior to this, she was
involved with library systems. She served as CACUL President (Canadian
Association of College and University Libraries) from 2003-2005 where she
worked with her executive to provide research opportunities for its membership.
Recently Su co-founded the Canadian Library Association's newest Interest Group
- Evidence Based Librarianship IG. Her interest in this area stems from her
administration work and her current sabbatical dealing with this
topic.
