Track: Human Resources and Staff Development Subtrack: Career Paths & Professional Development Speakers: Peter Bromberg, Prince Public Library; Janie Hermann, Princeton Public Library LITA LITA Why Transliteracy The skills needed to be an active participant in today’s society are rapidly evolving. Literacy is changing, more is needed than the ability to read and write. This session will explore the theoretical aspects of transliteracy, explaining why it is important and how it is tied to libraries. We will look at transliteracy from the varying perspectives caused by serving different different populations including schools, universities and the public. Sponsored by LITA Transliteracy Interest Group.

Get an update on the work of the Presidential Task force formed as a part of that resolution as they work to chart practical paths forward in this critical, and sorely lacking, area of library services. Come to hear an update and learn what you can do to help ensure your library offers the electronic and digital content your patrons want now and in the decades to come. Track: Digital Information & Technologies Subtrack: Issues & Updates Speakers: Michael Porter, WebJunction LLAMA - LOMS LITA ILS Migration Project Manager’s Jambalaya: 1 part library science, 1 part open source, and a whole lot more! Project management for an ILS migration is a spicy mix of insanity and mayhem sprinkled with a little library schooling and topped with a delightful mix of training, configuration, and supporting legacy systems. Come hear project managers share their experiences getting staff buy-in, migrating libraries to Evergreen, navigating pitfalls along the way and - most importantly - keeping their sanity while juggling an ever expanding list of job duties and responsibilities. Speakers: Melissa Lefebvre, Bibliomation, Inc.; Jennifer Turner, Minnesota State University www.alaannual.org Envisioning our Future: Restructuring the Academic Library through Radical Collaboration The program will present two case studies of strategic collaboration. 1: Collaboration Is the New Competition: 2CUL and the Imperative to Partner. 2CUL is a transformative partnership between two major academic research libraries, the Columbia University Libraries and the Cornell University Library, based on integration of resources, collections, services, and expertise. 2: A Strategic Agenda For a Multi-Institutional Library in the Northwest.
