ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 666 / C&RL News ■ September 2000 CONFERENCE CIRCUIT A C R L i n C h i c a g o H ig h lig h t s o f A C R L p r o g r a m s at th e A L A A n n u a l C o n f e r e n c e Providing a view of challenges librarians face, Carla Stoffle (University of Arizona) em­ phasized that we must take charge to create the future we want in higher education. Stoffle recommends leveraging our resources, rein­ venting ourselves, becoming activists, and gaining at least some control over the net­ work. She referred to the “Keystone Prin­ ciples”1 and called upon us “to do better and be better than we are now.” Some examples of challenges Stoffle men­ tioned are the difficulty in recruiting, the need to work on diversity in the profession, and the need to give up sacred cows (i.e., face- to-face reference and outmoded conceptions of physical space allocations in the library). She concluded by paraphrasing two of Jerry Campbell’s axioms: “New windows of oppor­ tunity will open” and “New windows of op­ portunity are short-lived.” Emily Mobley (Purdue University) added her perspective to many of the issues dis­ cussed by Stoffle as she talked about the fu­ ture. Mobley stated that “change will occur more rapidly than before” and that “the fu­ ture is being shaped by what is occurring today, outside of libraries." She divided the areas that contribute to our future into five sections: politics, sociology/culture, econom­ ics/business, technology, and education. Growing conservatism, changing mores of philanthropy, the e-business presence, merg­ ers in information industry companies, intel­ lectual property rights versus free access, and the demand for accountability were a few of her examples of the forces libraries must face. She urged the audience to collaborate (form “collaboratories”), to follow trends, look out­ T he Windy City was alternately rainy and sunny but always humid for attendees of ALA’s 119th Annual Conference, held July 6-12, 2000. Total conference attendance was 24,913 members, exhibitors, exhibits only, and guests, including 11,830 paid registrants Ed. note: Thanks to the ACRL members who sum­ marized programs to make this report possible. ACRL in the 21st century ACRL President Larry Hardesty stated that a year with three zeros in it demanded that we reflect on where we have been and what is ahead for librarians. The ACRL President’s Program, “Celebrating Our Successes, Con­ fronting Our Challenges: ACRL Enters the 21st Century,” presented a thought-provoking look both backward and forward. Evan Farber (emeritus librarian, Earlham College) introduced his presentation with a humorous parody of Mel Brooks as the 2,000 Year Old Librarian, disputing fines from the Alexandrian Library and recounting chats with “Joe” Gutenberg and Melville Dewey. Citing historical literature, Farber dis­ cussed the changed perception of academic librarians in the teaching/learning process. He outlined the transition from a supportive to an enhancing, and, finally, to an instruc­ tional role. In the enhancing role, librarians were “un­ obtrusive and diffident.” The instructional role has moved along more quickly because of information technology “creating new part­ nerships between librarians, students, and fac­ ulty.” Farber ended by saying that “technol­ ogy has not taken over, but has enhanced the role of librarians.” C & R L N e w s ■ S e p t e m b e r 2 0 0 0 / 6 6 7 s i d e l ib r a r ie s , a n d “p r e p a r e f o r t h e f u tu r e r a t h e r t h a n b e b lin d s i d e d b y it.” M o b l e y w a s u p b e a t w h e n s h e s a i d , “L ib r a r ia n s h ip w ill b e a liv e , b u t m u s t c o n ­ t in u e t o u n d e r g o s ig n if ic a n t c h a n g e in o r d e r t o s ta y w e l l . ” R ic k E k m a n (A tla n tic P h ila n th r o p ic S e r v ic e C o .) r e s p o n d e d w ith t h e h i g h e r e d u c a t i o n p e r s p e c t i v e .
