The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has selected 25 individuals to participate in the 2011-12 ARL Research Library Leadership Fellows (RLLF) Program. This executive leadership programme seeks to meet the increasing demands for succession planning for research libraries with a new approach to preparing the next generation of deans and directors.
This is the fourth iteration of the RLLF since its inception in 2004. To date, the programme has involved almost 30 research libraries sponsoring 60 key staff in their development as an emerging cadre of ARL senior leaders.
This fourth offering of the RLLF Program is jointly sponsored and designed by seven ARL member libraries: University of British Columbia Library, University of Illinois at Chicago Library, University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries, Dartmouth College Library, University of Miami Libraries, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Libraries, and Northwestern University Library. The programme will begin with an introductory webinar comprised of an in-depth 360° assessment overview designed to provide feedback to experienced library managers. The 2011-12 fellows will subsequently attend a Strategic Issues Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Libraries from April 3-7, 2011.
The selection committee composed of the ARL directors sponsoring the programme. The 25 fellows chosen by ARL represent a broad array of backgrounds and experiences and from multiple ARL institutions.
