ALCTS Role of the Professional Librarian in Technical Services (RPLTS) Interest Group Saturday, June 27, 2015, 10:30 am – 11:30 am Location: Moscone Convention Center 124 (N) Add this event to your 2015 Annual schedule: http://alaac15.ala.org/node/29220 Please join the Role of the Professional Librarian in Technical Services Interest Group as we explore the challenges and opportunities of advancing to a higher administrative level in academic libraries. Have you ever wondered if you should make this move? Have you considered what it would take to reach that higher level? How can you be sure you’re on the right path? Three recently appointed administrators will discuss their move from department head to upper library administration. They will share the lessons learned from the search process and how they handled the inevitable transition issues. The panelists represent three viewpoints: Pixey Mosley made the move as an internal candidate; Paula Sullenger spent many years at one institution before becoming an administrator elsewhere, and Carmelita Pickett rose in responsibility at multiple institutions. The panelists will have advice and encouragement for your situation. Speakers: Pixey Mosley Associate Dean for Administrative and Faculty Services Texas A&M University Libraries Paula Sullenger Associate Dean for Information Resources Texas A&M University Libraries Carmelita Pickett Associate University Librarian University of Iowa Libraries
