Thanks for serving on our panel. We thoroughly enjoyed your presentation, Elliot Felix. #ARLMeeting
...and that's a wrap. Thanks Association of Research Libraries for inviting me to speak about transforming library services and staffing at #ARLmeeting! 📣 I talked through the steps and examples: assessing user and staff needs, understanding trends and benchmarks, establishing goals and a service philosophy, defining your service offerings and who/how to partner, and redesigning processes and organizational structures. 👏 It was also a great conversation with Mary Ann Mavrinac and Megan Waters Bernal moderated by Diane Bruxvoort with help from Beth Sandore Namachchivaya. My favorite parts were about organizational agility (like how to "agilify" your strategic plan!) and how to truly partner with other campus groups so it's more than a tenant "library land grab" Thanks again Trevor A. Dawes and Andrew Pace for the invitation!
