2018 Snezek Library Leadership Institute
Overview
The Snezek Library Leadership Institute for library directors/deans will be held at Houghton College in Houghton, New York. The Snezek Institute, with select preparatory readings and multiple sessions on a variety of pertinent topics and issues, provides a forum for CCCU library directors and deans to engage in lively, informative, and stimulating conversation.
It provides a distinctive opportunity for the exchange of perspectives, ideas and experiences along the dynamic landscape of academic libraries and their role in scholarly communication and student learning. A hallmark of the Snezek Institute is its constructive collegial exchange and interpersonal encounters founded upon a common context of faith-based institutions and personal Christian commitment.
The planning committee is working hard to develop an excellent program which will include:
- Opening address by Mary Ann Mavrinac, vice provost and the Neilly Dean at the University of Rochester Libraries, author of the essay “A Tale of Two Libraries,” and co-author of “Pay it Forward: Mentoring New Information Professionals.”
- Discussion and sessions on:
- Developing a culture of staff innovation
- Chief academic officers panel
- Diversity in library staffing
- And more!
One First-Time Attendee Scholarship Available:
First-time attendees to the Snezek Library Leadership Institute are eligible for the Dan Bowell Scholarship, which covers the cost of registration for one first-time attendee.
