3. Organizational Strategies

Preparation and planning for change, new/interim leadership

• Determine what information is critical when planning an interim strategy to manage the responsibilities of a vacant position due to retirement or position change.
• Plan a training program for staff and other librarians who may take on new responsibilities due to the vacant position during this interim period.

The presenters will discuss preparing staff and library administrators when there are retirements or unexpected vacancies in e-resources management leadership positions. A “blueprint” for managing the responsibilities of the vacant position on an interim basis will be discussed, using NASIG Core Competencies and the electronic resources life cycle.
