1999 Fall Workshops

Faced with a turbulent future of burgeoning advances in information storage and delivery, libraries have the potential to greatly enhance their roles within communities and institutions. To help libraries throughout California achieve this potential, Stanford and the California State Library have formed a partnership, creating this Institute. Beginning with the workshop in September 1999 and the summer program in August 2000, the Institute will address a broad range of 21st-century library concerns:

• How are librarians preparing their organizations to survive--and take advantage of--escalating changes in information technology?
   
• How does the profession identify and develop its next generation of leaders?
   
• What are the vehicles for mid-career development for librarians?
   

How do we define best practices in an era of continuous change?
