Keynote Speaker
Meg Wheatley
Room - Park Grove Ballroom
"Bringing Life to Organizational Change: Learning in a Living System"
From her book Leadership and the New Science: Learning About Organizations from an Orderly Universe, Ms. Wheatley writes: "Each of us lives and works in organizations designed from Newtonian images of our universe. Our assumptions come to us from seventeenth-century physics, from Newtonian mechanics... But the science has changed. If we are to continue to draw from the sciences to create and manage organizations, then we need to at least ground our work in the science of our times. We need to stop seeking after the universe of the seventeenth century and begin to explore what has become known to us in the twentieth century."
Meg Wheatley is the author of Leadership and the New Science: Learning About Organizations from an Orderly Universe. This book is credited for changing how we think about the organizational structures. It suggests that we can understand organizations by studying discoveries in quantum physics, chaos theory, and biology. Industry Magazine, in 1992, called it "the best management book of the year." It has been translated into seven languages and has been made into a video. Ms. Wheatley's newest book, written with Myron Kellner-Rogers, is titled A Simpler Way.
Ms. Wheatley is president of The Berkana Institute, a research foundation working on the design of new organizations. She has been a practicing consultant for 20 years and is a professor of Brigham Young University.

Changing Organizational Partnerships
to Build an Information Literacy Program in the Extended Campus Environment
Room - North Grove
At WSU Vancouver, the Library, Computing and Educational
Television Departments merged into the cohesive service organization called
Vancouver Information Services (VIS), enabling the campus to develop and
integrate program in information literacy. This paper will review the trials
and triumphs of merging information technology departments and show how
VIS is integral to the campus information literacy goals.
Speakers: Leslie Wykoff, Director of Vancouver
Information Systems, Washington State University Vancouver; Karen Diller,
Assistant Campus Librarian, Washington State University Vancouver.
Strategic Planning in a Team Based Organization: A Fourth Year Review
& Assessment of the University of Arizona Library
Room - West Grove
This session will present the structure, process,
and products of the staff-driven, data-based approach to strategic long-range
planning. It will focus on 1) the team's composition, appointment, and
charge; 2) current situation analysis; 3) mission and vision development;
4) creation of goals and objectives; 5) annual plan and projects with measurable
outcomes, and 6) macro allocation of the Library's budget.
Speakers: SooYoung So, Assistant to the
Dean for Planning, The University of Arizona; Chestalene Pintozzi, Chair
of Information Resource Development and Preservation Council, The University
of Arizona.
Going the Distance with Teams: Addressing Human Resource Issues
Room - East Grove
Among the most challenging issues in reorganizing to teams are
framing the team structures within the institution's formal human resource
policies and practices. Since Summer 1994, Acquisitions Services at Libraries
have been piloting self-directed work teams for both the Libraries and
the University. During this period, annual team reviews and a major
job evaluation project for teams were successfully completed, and hiring
and disciplinary practices have been established. Presenters will describe
their experiences in creating a non-traditional work environment within
a traditional setting.
Speakers: Nancy M. Stanley, Head, Acquisitions
Services, The Pennsylvania State University Libraries; Nancy L. Slaybaugh,
Manager, Libraries Human Resources, The Pennsylvania State University Libraries.
More Than Cross Training: A SWAT Team Approach to Staffing
Room - Acacia
Faced with declining budgets, pressure to reduce
staff, the ebb and flow of both user needs and acquisition of materials,
one academic library implemented a staffing pattern known as SWAT. Successfully
applied in all service areas--public, technical, and staff support--SWAT
has enabled teams to accomplish tasks quickly, to utilize staff more efficiently,
and to reallocate, even eliminate positions.
Speaker: Jill Keally, Head, Library Support
Services, The University of Tennessee.
12:00 noon - 1:30 p.m. --- BUFFET LUNCH provided, Park Grove Ballroom
1:30 - 3:00 p.m.
Building a Culture of Assessment
in Academic Libraries
Room - North Grove
For academic libraries to succeed in the new educational
and information environment, they have to become more client focused, more
efficient and more effective in delivering their services. Libraries have
to take responsibility to incorporate into their work environment a culture
of ongoing assessment, and the willingness to make decisions based on facts
and sound analysis. This session will examine ways to build a culture of
assessment into the academic library environment.
Speakers: Amos Lakos, Coordinator-Management
Information Services, University of Waterloo; Betsy Wilson, Associate Director
of Libraries Public Services, University of Washington Libraries; Catherine
Larson, Team Leader, Fine Arts/Humanities Team, The University of Arizona
Library.
Designing a Space for Change: Organizational Change Through Interior
Architecture
Room - West Grove
The interior design effort for a new building becomes
a microcosm of the planning and implementation effort as a whole. Learn
of the links between organizational change and physical space as well as
practical considerations for managing a large-scale project.
Speakers: Shawn Tonner, Building Project
Librarian, Emory University, General Libraries; Jane Treadwell, Director,
Collections & Technical Services, Emory University, General Libraries.
Becoming a Team Within a Hierarchical
Structure: An Experiment
Room - East Grove
Present the experience of one section within the
Cataloging Division of the University of Washington Libraries as it moved
from a supervisory structure to a self-managed team. This change in structure
to a concept. What makes this different from the team concept is that this
team of seven members is only one of two sections that are participating
in the self-managing structure within the hierarchical structure of the
University of Washington Libraries at the time of this proposal. This University
of Washington Libraries at the time of this proposal. This presentation
will recount the team's experiences with training and how the members had
to change their mode of thinking, from working as individuals supervised
by one person to a group who share the load of supervisory responsibilities
as a team.
Speakers: Mary T. Kalnin, Original Cataloger,
University of Washington Libraries; Lili H. Angel, Complex Copy
Cataloger, University of Washington Libraries.
The Library as an Academic Department/The
Dickinson College Model: How Revolving Leadership, Collegial Management
& Holistic Librarianship Can Revitalize Your Library
Room - Acacia
Taking the structure of a regular academic department
as a model for library collegial management has enabled College, a liberal
arts college, to revitalize its library professionals and to mentor quality
leaders. A panel will discuss history of rotating leadership, consensus
management and holistic librarianship.
Speaker: Steve McKinzie, Chair, Dept.
of Library Resources, Dickinson College.
3:30 - 5:00 p.m.
Circulation 2000: How to Focus
Departmental Resources to Meet the Challenges in an Ever-Changing Environment
Room - North Grove
This presentation outlines the planning, design
and implementation processes used to redesign the Circulation and Reserve
Units of the Woodruff Library at Emory University. Managing the changes
resulting from the redesign will also be described. The presenters will
highlight what they learned from their successes and failures throughout
the 2+ year period.
Speakers: Francis Maloy, Head, Circulation,
Emory University; Catherine Shiel, Manager, Circulation & Reserve Unit,
Emory University.
What is Valuable? Mapping Personal & Organizational Values: Tools
for the Future
Room - West Grove
Continuity, change, cooperation, autonomy, loyalty,
independence, innovation, tradition, consistency, flexibility, compassion,
courage...All of these are values. What values are shared in an organization?
When do they conflict? How do people communicate their own values in the
workplace? How do values inform decision-making? These often unarticulated
but deeply held convictions can be made explicit and can inform and clarify
processes of change for organizations of all sizes.
Speakers: Mary Beth Clack, Staff &
Organizational Development Officer, Harvard College Library; Laura Farwell,
Research Librarian, Harvard College Library.
Using the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria: A Viable Tool for Assessing
Organizational Change
Room - East Grove
How does understanding and using the Malcolm Baldrige
criteria impact library organizational change? A panel from the Research
Library at Los Alamos will provide a fundamental background on the Malcolm
Baldrige criteria and share their lessons learned from using the criteria
to apply for the 1997 New Mexico Quality Awards.
Speakers: Richard E. Luce, Research Library
Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Library; Jackie Stack,
Associate Library Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory Research
Library; Anne Menefee, LWW Process Owner, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Research Library; Sue Watkins, Electronic Database Process Owner,
Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Library.
The Missing Links: The Impact of Employee-Group
Stratification on Academic Library Diversity Initiatives & Organization
Change
Room - Acacia
In realizing the advantages of diversity, the role
of employee group diversity in organizational conflict must be recognized
as a factor in affecting organization change. Group stratification works
against the goal of welcoming, valuing and respecting diverse backgrounds
and points of view in the library setting. Cross-group team-building works
towards fostering a climate for diversity.
Speaker: Toni Olshen, Associate University Librarian,
York University.
Thursday,
April 23, 1998
8:00 - 9:30 a.m.
Keynote Speaker
Ernie Ingles
Room - Park Grove Ballroom
"From the Faraway Nearby"
Georgia O'Keefe's 1937 canvas evoked the vast space and clear light of the southwest. Here is an horizon so distant that the eyes dare not to seek it, with images so bright that they blind the observer. In this painting O'Keefe ties the past to the present and provides description of a world unlike that seen before. Building on the metaphor of landscape, Ingles roots the future of librarianship within the terets of our collective experience, comments on our present contribution to repective communities and provides compelling reason why our future is "nearby", constrained only by the limitations of a shared image and our willingness to imagine.
Ernie Ingles is the Associate Vice-President, Learning Systems, at the University of Alberta. Mr. Ingles' work is in planning and coordination of information and instructional technology. He was the Chief Librarian and Director of Libraries at the University of Alberta in 1990. He has achieved prominence for his strategic planning initiatives; the development of the province-wide Health Knowledge Network (HKN); the planning and building of a Canadian university's first remote storage and document supply facility; and his award winning, cost-containment initiatives in partnerships with Information Systems Management. Most recently, Mr. Ingles has overseen the creation of an interlibrary loan system that automates the ordering and delivery of documents using the World Wide Web. "The model," Ingles says, "is radical---to move the library from a document location system and self-serve document warehouse to an active on-demand document supply service."
9:30 - 10:00 a.m. --- BREAK
10:00 - 11:00 a.m.
Testing for Usability in the Design
of a New Information Gateway
Room - North Grove
Seeking to understand user's needs, assumptions,
and on-line behavior was critical in the design of The University of Arizona's
new Information Gateway system. Focus groups helped direct the initial
design and then usability studies shaped the prototypes and the end product.
We will discuss both the methodology and the results of these studies.
Speakers: Michelle Clairmont, Science
& Engineering Librarian, The University of Arizona Library; Ruth Dickstein,
Social Sciences Librarian, The University of Arizona Library; Vicki Mills,
Undergraduate Services Librarian, The University of Arizona Library.
Overcoming Organizational Barriers
and Preparing for the Future Through Consortial Partnerships
Room - West Grove
Which electronic product/service has your library purchased recently?
How was it selected, who (or which group/committee) was involved, who made
the decision, and how long did it take? This presentation will analyze
the results and/or ongoing experiences from a variety of information partnerships
and joint ventures. It will explore whether there are organizational models
that better facilitate the purchase or licensing of electronic products/services
and consortial leadership than others. As well, we will explore the emerging
role of chaos and complexity theories on team decision making and risk
taking.
Speaker: Johann Van Reenen, Director,
Centennial Science and Engineering Library, University of New Mexico.
Integrating Library Instruction
Into Learning Communities: A L.E.A.P Toward Innovation
Room - East Grove
Learning communities can be used to enhance a student's
understanding of a subject discipline, the writing process, and to improve
research skills. One such model integrated three courses into a single
syllabus called the Political Inquiry and Writing Pride offered to incoming
freshmen as part of the Learning Edge Academic Program (LEAP). The LEAP
program encourages active and collaborative learning, and the opportunity
to integrate library skills into each Pride's curriculum. The pilot program
revealed that the concept of a community may be the appropriate model for
enhancing the learning and teaching process because it takes the courses,
the faculty, and the librarians out of isolation and places them in purposeful
juxtaposition to each other. However, if such learning communities are
to grow and thrive universities and libraries must improve the teaching
skills of both librarians and faculty by developing a greater part of their
resources to such efforts. Nevertheless, the possibility for improving
information literacy through such a learning community is great.
Speakers: Deborah Cheney, Head, Documents/Maps
Section, The Pennsylvania State University; Helen Sheehy, International
Documents Librarian, Documents/Maps Section, The Pennsylvania State
University.
Training for Transition: a Training
Program for Staff Transitioning to Public Services
Room - Acacia
This presentation will outline the training program
established at the University of Connecticut, Regional Campus Libraries.
The purpose of this program is to prepare technical services staff moving
to public services positions and to enhance the skills of reference librarians
assuming new responsibilities as a result of strategic initiatives and
new services. The presentation will include discussion of the proposal,
needs assessment questionnaire, and training topics.
Speaker: Francine M. DeFranco, Acting
Director, Harleigh B. Trecker Library, University of Connecticut.
11:00 - 11:30 a.m. --- BREAK
11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Living the Future in a Unionized Library
Room - North Grove
This paper is in response to the position that organizational
changes such as becoming a learning organization, reengineering, outsourcing,
and team-based organizational structures are impossible (or very difficult)
in libraries who staff are represented by labor unions. Hear how the UConn
Libraries have instituted significant changes with a staff that is virtually
entirely unionized.
Speaker: Brinley Franklin, Associate Director,
University of Connecticut Libraries.
Implementing an Assessment Plan
for Info Literacy
Room - West Grove
Librarians at Indiana University Bloomington have
written and begun to implement an "Assessment Plan for Information Literacy".
The plan asserts the need for the teaching faculty to form partnerships
with librarians to ensure that all students reach an acceptable level of
information literacy. Using the plan, librarians have developed several
projects to further these goals.
Speakers: Kristine Brancolini, Head, Media
and Reserve Services, Indiana University;
Erla P. Heyns, Head, School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation
Library, Indiana University.
Evolution, Not Revolution: The Gradual Approach to Organizational
Change in the Brown University Library
Room - East Grove
This paper chronicles the organizational change
program at the Brown University Library known as "MODEL-Managing Organizational
Development through Effective Leadership". MODEL aims to make gradual and
incremental changes in the organization's culture, not dramatic and immediate
changes in the organization's structure. Findings from staff discussions
about the need for change, efforts to develop leadership, and the role
of consultants and change agents are described.
Speaker: Raynna Bowlby, Library Staff
and Organizational Development Officer, Brown University.
Tools for Change: Progress Through Quality
Room - Acacia
Change, flexibility, innovation and a vision of
the future. These are the ingredients of our survival kit. Libraries must
lead from the front effecting their own continuous learning while becoming
more economically independent. This requires an approach of constant audit
and review, retaining enough flexibility to move staff and funding to new
programs which offer opportunities for significant benefit to our user
community. This is the context for the University of Melbourne library's
continuous improvement program which commended in 1993. At this time the
library was perceived by many of its external and internal customers as
being "hopelessly traditional" and "lagging behind the others". Although
there were many good services in place and funding support from the University
to sustain collection management initiatives, the library lacked vision,
direction, flexibility and a process for being able to move into new areas
and stop doing other things. A major review of the library was nearing
completion and it was clear that sustainable quality management programs
would be needed as a tool for achieving organizational change. Within three
years the library has been described by the same customers as being "at
the cutting edge" and being "flavor of the year". In October 1996 the library
received an award for its achievements. The receipt of this Award marks
one point in a lifelong journey--not a finishing line but now we understand
our strengths as well as the challenges ahead. We have learned from this
experience and we aim to be better. The framework for becoming better is
in place and we know where we want to be organizationally next year in
three years time.
Speaker: Helen Hayes, University Librarian,
University of Melbourne.

Tri-University Group of Libraries: Experiences
and Lessons from a Comprehensive Collaborative Initiative
Room - North Grove
In January 1995 the Tri-University Group of Libraries
(Wilfrid Laurier, Guelph and Waterloo) was formed as a collaborative partnership
to enable the coordination of their services and resources in such a manner
that the three libraries were perceived and experienced by their user community
as a single library serving the needs of the three institutions. This presentation
will explore the key administrative and leadership experiences of the collaboration
outlining the need to adopt new organizational techniques and evolve new
organizational cultures if such collaborations are to be successful.
Speaker: Michael Ridley, Chief Librarian,
University of Guelph, McLaughlin Library.
Presumed Understandable: Library Services, Assessments & Linguistic
Obscurity
Room - West Grove
The presentation will focus on how language can
obscure users' understanding of library services and relate this problem
to effective user needs assessment efforts. Methodologies will be explored
and challenged and alternative strategies for needs assessment of research
library services will be suggested with input from the audience. A major
goal will be to negate participants in a dialogue regarding our profession's
assumptions about the clarity of language we use to describe research libraries'
services.
Speaker: Barbara I. Dewey, Director, Information
& Research Services, University of Iowa Libraries.
Using Culture as a Construct for Achieving Diversity in Human Resources
Management: Exploration of a Model
Room - East Grove
The intent of this paper is to explore a model of
four cultures of individual identity proposed by Jessie Carney Smith and
its relevance to the creation of points of intersection among library employees
that can enhance opportunities for organizational development in the context
of change.
Speaker: Janice Simmons-Welburn, Coordinator,
Personnel and Diversity Programs University of Iowa Libraries.
Measurement & Evaluation: Purposes & Principles for Libraries
Room - Park Theatre
Libraries continually seek to improve their ability
to meet user needs and to increase user satisfaction while demonstrating
to their funding agencies that they are using resources effectively. They
reallocate resources, redesign services, and refocus priorities. How can
libraries prove they are successful and they are making the right choices?
Performance measurement and evaluation are becoming increasingly important
to libraries in this context. This paper will present a conceptual framework
for performance measurements and explore purposes for measurement.
Speaker: Peggy Johnson, Assistant University
Librarian, University of Minnesota Libraries.
