Minitex Directors' Workshop—May 17, 2002
Strategic Tools for Library Leadership
Staff of Minitex participating libraries and all libraries should seek to
understand all aspects of the information industry, to consider themselves
content providers, to identify their users' needs, and to work consistently
and strategically to meet those needs as well as the other challenges
confronting them today.
This was the message presented during a Minitex-sponsored workshop attended
by directors of academic, public and special libraries from Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota at the Radisson Conference Center in Plymouth, MN,
on May 17, 2002.
Leigh Watson Healy, Vice President & Chief Analyist for Outsell, presented
the workshop, which included a preview of results of a newly completed study of
3,200 information users at major colleges and universities. The study was
carried out by the Digital Library Foundation (DLF) and Outsell, Inc., with
support from the Mellon Foundation. (The study is available through the Council
of Libraries and Information Resources Web site.)
