RBMS 51st Annual Preconference
June 22-25, 2010, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Inspired by the long-standing close and productive relationship among the members of the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL), the theme of the 51st RBMS preconference is “Join or Die: Collaboration in Special Collections." In our current economic climate, the theme of collaboration seems an especially timely one. We intend to explore collaborative relationships as broadly as possible: with our coworkers and our colleagues; with scholars and students; with donors, funders, and vendors. In short, our subject will be any instance in which we can accomplish more by working together than we could alone, with an emphasis on creative but practical solutions to the challenges we are all confronting.

Immersion '10 Program

Immersion Teacher and Program tracks will be held at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont.  The invitation to apply to the summer program has passed.  Immersion Assessment and Intentional Teacher tracks will be held at the Scarritt-Bennett Center in Nashville, Tennessee.  May 26, 2010, is the application deadline for the fall program.

Leadership Institute for Academic Librarians
August 1-6, 2010, Cambridge, Massachusetts
The ACRL/Harvard Leadership Institute for Academic Librarians provides the tools and insight needed to improve your leadership effectiveness and help your library respond to a rapidly shifting landscape. It is designed for those who must think strategically about emerging student and faculty needs, changing expectations of library staff, new technologies, and long-range plans for the library. The curriculum will deepen your insights and broaden your conceptual repertoire of valuable approaches to leadership. The institute also provides a valuable opportunity for participants to assess their own leadership strengths and weaknesses in a supportive and engaging learning environment. 

ACRL OnPoint Chat
ACRL OnPoint is a live series of informal monthly chat sessions that provide the opportunity to connect with colleagues and experts to discuss an issue of the day in academic and research librarianship.
