DIVISION PRESIDENTS PROGRAMS AASL President’s Program (AASL) Saturday June 25, 10:30 am - 12:00 noon Some speakers make you laugh. Some speakers make you cry. Some speakers make you look at life differently. Sally Karioth is a very special speaker, because she makes you do all three. The current state of education and the role of librarians is often an area of concern, stress and loss for many. Dr. Sally Karioth, an expert on grief, loss and trauma, will help attendees focus on personal responses to the present situation; distinguish between minor and major events; and find the exquisite moments in each day.

ACRL President’s Program: From Idea to Innovation to Implementation: How Teams Make it Happen (ACRL) Saturday June 25, 10:30 am - 12:00 noon We all value great ideas. Unfortunately, few ideas get beyond the lightning-bolt thought or some scribbled words. The greatest innovations across time, according to new research, emerge from teams characterized by diverse skill sets not the lone creative genius. To move our libraries into the future, we must create and sustain teams that transition great ideas to implementation. Jason Young, President of LeadSmart and author of the book Culturetopia, will share his perspectives on the importance of identifying and developing the essential factors that impact performance for any team or organization: leadership principles, management practices, alignment and employee behavior. Speakers: Jason Young, Author of the book Culturetopia, President of LeadSmart ALCTS Economic Reflections on Libraries: ALCTS President’s Program Monday June 27, 10:30 am - 12:00 noon Libraries are often considered as cultural heritage institutions, and appropriately so. At the same time, many of their functions are essential to economic growth and well being, and they are important economic entities in their own right. Paul Courant, both an academic economist and a university librarian, will combine these perspectives as he considers libraries (both academic and more generally) both as producers of value and as entities whose behavior is subject to the law of supply and demand. Speakers: Paul Courant, University of Michigan, Librarian and Dean of Libraries, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, Harold T. Shapiro Collegiate Professor of Public Policy, Professor of Economics, Professor of Information PRELIMINARY PROGRAM www.alaannual.org 19 ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION 2011  http://www.alaannual.org
