2024 Core Forum

How can you have a greater impact in your community while staying focused on the needs of your core constituents? Have the information needs of your community changed following the COVID-19 pandemic and do you believe there are new ways that libraries of all types can work together to meet those needs? Do you know how your counterparts in academic, public, school, and special libraries are approaching the same leadership challenges you are?
In this workshop, colleagues representing different library types will present a model for community-facing collaboration on information issues of concern to local communities based on their successful work together. While this model is built on a foundation of existing collaboration, it is informed by a logic model that can be adapted for use in any local environment where partners across library types are committed to making a collective impact on information issues of concern to their community, e.g., health misinformation, voter misinformation. Participants in this workshop will be introduced to case studies in collaboration and strategies for collective impact on our community emerging both from traditional forms of library collaboration as well as our new focus on strategic investment on issues of concern in our shared service community.
