The talk will take a look at some of the challenges facing higher education administration in the coming years and how Cornell might address them with examples. Specifically, I will look at issues around planning, employee development, emerging new administrative goals and the structural changes required to adapt to these new challenges in a decentralized environment. The talk will also focus in on the evolving role that employees can play in helping management affirm goal statements and set reasonable benchmarks to assess organizational progress.

What's more, the population of librarians is also aging quickly, meaning that the profession is now entering a period of retirements higher than any in living memory. And for all that, the most compelling aspect of the demographics of librarianship is the emergence of a youth movement that is blurring the distinction between professional and support staff, eroding the relevance of the MLS degree, and creating a new class of library professionals who get far more money for far less library experience. And then there's Canada. Description: This is a recording of a presentation given at the 9/6/2006 Cornell University Library, Academic Assembly.

Description: Excerpt of talk: "A fairly stable system of scholarly communication -- with defined roles for libraries, university presses and scholarly societies -- arose along with the modern American university. Digitization is only the most prominent force stressing that system and altering the interaction of its components. To make sense of this shifting kaleidoscope we need to think again on the missions of the several actors."

However, in the interconnected world of the Web, information seekers behave more and more self-sufficiently, choosing simple but powerful search engines and moving well beyond catalogs and library collections in their pursuit of information. Using her recent research on the integration of the catalog with other discovery tools as a starting point, Calhoun will explore how librarians can continue advancing the state of knowledge in a digital world.
