As I work with my Appointments Committee to complete the slate of officers for the coming year, I am reminded of how fortunate we are to have such talented and hard-working staff and member volunteers leading the work of ACRL. “I am also inspired by the ACRL Board who are knowledgeable about issues, concerned about the needs of members, and giving of their time and talent. The Board has been working very hard to bring you a completed strategic plan by the 2004 ALA Annual Conference. The plan is based upon member input that was gathered from surveys, focus groups, telephone calls, and face-to-face conversations about the future of academic and research libraries and higher education. It also focuses on how ACRL can continue to provide vital support to librarians. “During my year as president, I will be leading the association in developing action plans and implementing some of the new initiatives outlined in the strategic plan. I will also be leading efforts to align ACRL’s organizational structure with the work of the association. “I am also very excited about my theme, ‘Libraries are Education: Original Thinking About Our Core Purpose,’ which will guide my President’s Program Planning Committee in their work and be the focus of a series of articles in C&RL News. “Thank you for all of your support, continued hard work, and commitment to academic and research libraries, as well as to ACRL.” As president, Maloy will preside over the ACRL Board of Directors and ACRL Executive Committee, chair the ACRL Conference Program Planning Committee for the 2005 Annual Conference, and plan ACRL’s major program at the conference.

Camila Alire, dean of library services at the University of New Mexico, has been elected vice president/president elect of ACRL. “Thank you, ACRL members. I am more than honored to have been selected as your president-elect. ACRL is the organization I credit for developing my leadership skills when I first became involved in ALA. To my colleagues in CJCLS, thank you for recognizing my leadership potential. “What an exciting time to be involved in academic libraries and ACRL—exciting but challenging. No matter what positions we hold in our libraries, our responsibilities seem to be ever-changing as we face increasing challenges, such as the reality of reduced funding, the demand for more electronic resources and services, the expectation to lead scholarly communication discussion and action, the certainty of retirements en masse, and the challenge to diversify our institutions and academic libraries’ workforce, among others. During my year as president, I will be leading the association in developing action plans and implementing some of the new initiatives outlined in the strategic plan. I will also be leading efforts to align ACRL’s organizational structure with the work of the association. —Frances Maloy “ACRL needs to be in the position, through our strategic plan, to help you all grow, cope, and benefit as members.
