“From Librarian to Proficient
Manager: Uncovering the Transitional Journey”
Date
& Time: Tuesday, November 4, 2014 2:00 pm Eastern
Standard Time (New York, GMT-05:00)
Presenter: Michele Leininger,
PhD candidate and teaching fellow at the University of Pittsburgh
Description: Many
librarians find themselves challenged to make the transition into proficient
managers, often without clear guidance. For her dissertation on front-line
public library managers, Michele Leininger, a PhD candidate at the University
of Pittsburgh, chose to investigate how and where new managers find the help
they need. Through a series of diaries and interviews at one library system,
Michele’s research tells both the individuals’ stories about how they learned
and transitioned from librarians into managers, as well as the story of the
library organization and its peer support network. Discover what the research
has revealed and what it means for others interested in the transitional
journey to proficient manager.
By the end of the webinar, participants will be able
to understand:
* Michele’s approach to gathering the research data
and why it’s important to public library management research.
* The experiences of the research participants,
including the tools, processes, and preferences involved in their learning.
* How the library supported the peer managerial
network, both formally and informally.
* The implications of the research for practitioners
in the area of public library management.
