Kudos Collection for next Pan-Library Forum

Leave a Comment on Kudos Collection for next Pan-Library Forum

It’s kudos time again! With one week until the next Pan-Library Forum, Library Council is once more collecting various news items, accolades, and celebration-worthy material to share, and make sure that everyone knows what great work is going on amongst the staff. Kudos can be given by anyone in the Libraries to anyone in the Libraries, so spread the love!

If you’d like to call out someone’s accomplishments, you can do so by filling out the Kudos Collection form for the next PLF, located here. You can submit as many times as you like for as many fellow colleagues as you like. The submissions are anonymous, but do require you to use your oberlin.edu email address.

Submissions will be shared with Valerie to work into the next PLF, so please get yours in early if you can, for the sake of getting everything into the presentation.

Thanks for all you do!

Best,
Greg Solow
Library Council Chair

OCL Strategic Directions

Leave a Comment on OCL Strategic Directions

Here it is….the work of many minds and many hands. Thanks to Elizabeth Sullivan, the architect of assessment, to all of you as participants in the surveys and focus groups, to the Drafting Committee, and the alphabet soup of reviewers (LLT, LLC, SLAB, FOCL, and GF Lib Comm, and Lib Staff).

It’s a good document that speaks to our values. It is future- and user-oriented. And it is ready for each department to begin to use in planning as you think about goals and projects.  It is also ready for me to ‘take on the road’ as you an advocate for the great libraries that make up the Oberlin College Libraries.

Congratulations!

Strategic Directions Document for Review

Leave a Comment on Strategic Directions Document for Review

Dear Colleagues,

The Drafting Committee humbly submits the Strategic Directions document with addenda to you your review. The document has been reviewed by the LLT and LC. The next step is for you (all OCL staff), the GF Lib Committe, and the Student Library Advisory Board to review and comment for a final revision before it goes to the Administration.
It’s been quite a process–done with input from nearly 200 folks and covering just about every area of our work as we look to our future.
The document seeks to articulate who we are, where we are, and where we might go together.
It is not a Roadmap, but rather a Compass, pointing us toward strategic directions for our 21st-century library. Each department will use it to chart a path as we continue to travel together toward a great future!

Please feel free to make comments on the Googeldoc or send me an email or note with comments, corrections, edits, or critique.

And thank you to those of you who helped gather information, to those who organized the results, to those who drafted the document, and to everyone who is reviewing and improving it.
