Another academic year is upon us, and with all the hustle and bustle that ac-companies the beginning of term, it is often easy to put career development on the back burner. After all, there are programs to prepare, classes to teach, and projects that desper-ately need to be finished. Yet without planning and preparation, valuable ca-reer opportunities could be missed. The WNY/O Association of College and Research Libraries Fall 2005 Con-ference, “Professional Pathways – Mapping Routes to Success in Ca-reer Development,” will help guide you through some of the issues that you may encounter, and

give you ideas and tips to help your career flourish. The conference will be held at the historic Roycroft Inn in East Aurora, New York, on September 23, 2005. The Roycroft Inn is a world-renowned inn and restaurant, part of the Roycroft Arts and Crafts Community. The beauti-ful architecture, history and surroundings should serve as a perfect back-drop for our conference, where there will be plenty of opportunity for lively discussion and debate, engaging poster sessions, networking with col-leagues, and much more. Of course, the WNY/O chapter of the ACRL is

more than just confer-ences and newsletters. You can network with cross-border colleagues any time of the year through our member listserv. The international makeup of our member-ship affords excellent op-portunities to see how challenges are faced in different environments and communities. We rely on our members to help spread the word about our organization and activities, as well as provide us with tips and suggestions for upcoming conferences. We wel-come any and all feed-back that can help us

I sometimes think we lose sight of the importance of the organizations that serve us well as librarians and educators. It’s too easy to get caught up in our jobs and miss the impact of those people and organi-zations working on our behalf, but at a distance. I know I did until I became involved with the Western New York/Ontario ACRL, from the inside. I can vouch for the responsive, pro-gressive, commitment to quality librarianship and scholarship exhib-ited by the ladies and gentlemen who make up the Board of the WNY/O Chapter of the ACRL. You need only look to the high quality programming these people bring to you year after year to un-derstand their passion for the pro-fession and their wish to help their peers. Put into monetary terms, this organization offers you the best re-turn on investment (membership). I’d like to make special mention of two members of the board who will be missed: Nicki Lerczak, former Programs Chair par excellence, and Nancy Warren who did double duty as board member and speaker at the Spring Conference in Niagara Falls. To be added to the list are Treas-urer, Brenda Battleson, Samantha Gust, our famous Webmaster, Mi-chelle Zafron, Programs Chair, and Debby Emerson, Vice Programs Chair…they are preparing another great conference at the Roycroft. Also to be mentioned is David Ber-tuca who, although not on the board this year, continues to be an impor-tant part of our organization. The names of current President, Jona-

than Younker, Vice President/President Elect, Jill Church (also Archivist), Secretary, Marianne Foley, Councillor, K. Jane Burpee, and, last but not least, our magnifi-cent Newsletter Editor, Carol Wu, must be mentioned. Together, these people make up one of the most ef-fective boards it’s ever been my pleasure to serve on. As to the community they serve, I must applaud you all. Last year, I was invited to speak on a panel at the WNYLRC Annual Banquet. I said something there that I’d like to take back. I said that, given the chance, I wasn’t sure I would pick librarianship as my profession again. I thought about it afterward and real-ized I was letting those in our soci-ety who underestimate, under-fund, and undervalue our profession, get to me. I’ve since come to my senses. I re-membered all the people I helped over the years who couldn’t thank me enough for assisting them into, what was for some, a broader world. I also remembered the librarians who helped me along the way; a finer, more intelligent, more pro-gressive professional group I have never met. We stand for “intellectual freedom” in all its as-pects; we stand for enlightenment, education, and equality. We stand for humanity. Yep, if I had it to do all over again, I’d be a librarian. Get involved! We need you! Ilona Middleton Past President

Editor’s Note

It has been my pleasure to edit the newsletters during the past three years. Not only have I had the privilege to preview the content, I have also had the opportunity to work with the wonderful Board and serve the WNY/O ACRL com-munity at the same time. It is with sadness that this may be the last issue I prepare for you all. By the time you receive this issue, I will have left my position at Brock University to become the Director of Library at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, NY. I have thoroughly enjoyed my work for WNY/O ACRL. Thank you for a great time. Look me up if you are ever in the neighborhood of Newburgh! Carol Wu

Field Report from Pat... Over the summer, I have been col-laborating with a physics professor to introduce some information liter-acy into his class. There were 5 Internet Assignments over a six week period. The assign-ments were not graded, but counted as 5% of the total grade. As long as the student turned in an assignment she got credit for it. There were 25 students in the class, almost all sophomores or juniors and most are engineering majors. The assign-ment was given out on Monday and on Thursday, I had a half hour time slot to discuss the results with them. The students seemed to really get into the assignments. They had lots and lots of good ideas. I have placed a few items in Cor-nell’s DSpace: http://dspace.library.cornell.edu/items-by-author?author=Viele%2C+Pat

Roycroft Inn

East Aurora, New York

Featuring: Stanley Wilder, University of Rochester

Melissa Jadlos, SUNY Geneseo Cynthia Tysick, University at Buffalo

Plus Poster Sessions

Conference Overview

The Western New York/Ontario Chapter of the Asso-ciation of College and Re-search Libraries invites you to a one-day conference on trends in the profession and career development. Please join us as we return to the historic Roycroft Inn in East Aurora and explore several facets of career development, from an overview of the aging of the profession, to hiring trends in librarianship, to brushing up on your job seeking skills, to maximizing peer support for writing and publishing efforts.

Session One

“We’re older than we think… the aging of librarianship. So?”

Stanley Wilder, Assistant Dean for Information Management

Services, University of Roches-ter Libraries

Librarianship is not like other pro-fessions. We’re a lot older, and we’re aging at a much faster rate. At the same time, the people en-tering librarianship are unlike those who have entered the pro-fession in the past. What does this mean for the profession? What does it mean for library adminis-trators? Stanley has studied exten-sively about the aging of our profession. He will share his research and insights with us,

� �

3DJH���

and facilitate a question-and-answer session about what this means for academic and research libraries.

Stanley Wilder is the Associate Dean for River Campus Libraries, University of Rochester. Prior to his current position, he served at the Louisiana State University Li-braries, and at the University of Illinois at Chicago Libraries. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Eng-lish from the University of Wis-consin, an MLS from Columbia University, and an MBA from the University of Illinois at Chicago. He has many published works re-lating to the demographics of li-brarianship, including the recent study Demographic Change in Academic Librarianship, pub-lished by the Association of Re-search Libraries. He has also pub-lished extensively on the serials crisis.

Session Two

“Do you have what it takes? Library jobs: what potential employers are looking for”

Melissa Jadlos

Associate Director, Milne Library, SUNY Geneseo,

Geneseo, New York

Why are job ads written the way they are? What are employers looking for in an application? This workshop will give you sug-gestions for how to write a cover letter and resume that will move your application to the keep pile. Melissa Jadlos, Associate Director of Milne Library SUNY Geneseo has been on both sides of the ap-plication process. For the past 5 years, she has coordinated all

searches at SUNY Geneseo and has written and read many types of applications throughout her 20 years in academic libraries.

Session Three

“We’re all in this together: Sup-port groups and the writing

process”

Cynthia Tysick Senior Assistant Librarian, Arts

and Sciences Library University at Buffalo, Buffalo,

New York

Writing—some are naturals, oth-ers struggle to write that first sen-tence. Librarians who want or need to publish scholarly research need institutional and collegial support. The University at Buf-falo libraries have given their in-

3DJH���

stitutional support to an academic writing group comprised of junior faculty librarians who are dedi-cated to assisting each other through the writing process. This presentation will show you how to form your own writing group and leverage your institution’s mis-sion, vision and goals to support events like one or two day “writing retreats”. Cynthia Tysick, Senior Assistant librarian at the University at Buf-falo, is a junior, tenure track li-brarian who has struggled with understanding the publishing process and criteria for tenure. The acculturation process into academia is virtually non-existent for librarians but Cynthia has used the writing group as a model that works to bridge the gap between MLS and faculty status.

Niagara Falls, Ontario

The Evolving Librarian: The Changing Roles of Librarianship

I’m pleased to announce that we had a very successful conference on May 6, 2005. Over 85 people, from both Canada and the United States, attended the one-day event. Every-thing seemed to be in place; good location, good weather, good food, and, above all, good topics and pre-senters. The morning started with a panel discussion on the evolving roles of librarians. Our panel included Christine Dehoff, Department Chair at Erie Community College, Buf-falo City Campus, Dave Nuzzo, Head of Acquisitions at the Univer-sity of Buffalo, and Jonathan Youn-ker, Electronic Services Librarian at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario. By the way, we all felt that Dave Nuzzo should hire out for parties. The guy is hilarious as well as being an expert in his field. Coming from various aspects of academic librarianship, the panel-ists were able to present their take on the situation we all find our-selves in, in particular, the impact on the way services are offered, and how we are adapting and adjusting to our constantly changing environ-ment. Needless to say, technology played the biggest part in each pres-entation and subsequent discussion.

We had a delicious lunch after our first session.. I must admit, however, that some attendees were seen leav-ing lunch early for the gaming tables and slot machines. From the looks on their faces when they returned for the second half of the program, I’d say lady luck got mixed reviews. Systems Librarian, Nancy Warren, from D’Youville College in Buffalo, presented an excellent program on “Time Management Through Track-ing and Reporting”. She emphasized the concept that, by documenting what you do and length of time needed to do it, you provide yourself, and your administration with a pic-ture of your effectiveness, worth, and work/time needs assessment. In sim-pler terms, the woman knows what she’s doing and where she’s going and can prove it to the powers that be. Needless to say, the audience had a lot of questions. It should be noted that Nancy has a template that she’s willing to share on the internet. One of the ways libraries have adapted to the changes in the profes-sion is by developing an “Information Commons”. Our panel-ists on this topic were Vivian Lewis, Associate University Librarian for Services at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, Janet Kaufmann, Head, Information Services and Co-Director of the Learning Commons at the University of Guelph Library and Alice Harrington, Reference/Instruction Librarian at Monroe Community College in Rochester, New York.

The positives and negatives of this unique concept were explored, with each campus librarian on the panel presenting a variation on the basic theme of the student “one stop knowledge shop”. The Poster presentations were well developed and right on the money (excuse the pun, given the location of the conference). Titles included “Blogosphere Pioneers: Librarian Blogs and the Advancement of the Information Commons” presented by Darren Chase, “Technology: Revolving the Evolving Librar-ian” presented by Marianne Foley, Buffalo State College, “From the Trenches of War to the Frontlines of the Technology Revolution: The Librarian as a Champion for Intellectual Freedom” presented by Diane Garcia, M.L.S. Candidate, University at Buffalo, “Mobile Computing in Healthcare Fair: An educational, Promotional and Social Opportunity for Libraries and Their Users” presented by Dean Hendrix and Michelle Zafron, Uni-versity at Buffalo, “The Changing Role of Reference” presented by Jamie Ligas, M.L.S. Candidate, University at Buffalo and librarian, Keith Mages, “The Evolving Tech-nical Services Librarian” pre-sented by Marianne Muha, Buffalo State College, “The Changing Roles of Regional Accreditation: How Middle States Library Re-quirements Have Evolved” pre-sented by Ann Tenglund, St. Bonaventure University,

Diane Garcia is currently completing her dual Master’s degree in both Library Science and Informatics at the University at Buffalo. Her library experience includes work in the Poetry & Rare books collection and a gradu-ate assistantship in the Undergraduate Library at Univer-sity at Buffalo, in addition to a practicum at Niagara Uni-versity. Since the Spring Conference, Diane has been working on some projects involving web usability. In her spare time she enjoys traveling. Rachel Meyers is currently a student in the MLS pro-gram at the University at Buffalo. Before attending UB, she received an MA in Sociology at Cleveland State Uni-versity. Rachel’s library experience includes work in the

reference department at UB’s Health Sci-ences Library, and an internship setting up and organizing the library at the Niagara Aerospace Museum in Niagara Falls, New York. Rachel received her first audition for Jeopardy in 2004, and also enjoys gardening. Sheryl Saxby is a current MLS student at SUNY Buffalo. She completed her BA in medieval studies at SUNY Binghamton. Her library experience includes a practicum at the Resource Center at the University Community Ini-tiative, as well as her current position as an assistant to one of the processing archivists at the University at Buf-falo Archives. Sheryl enjoys many hobbies, but is cur-rently fascinated with puzzles, crocheting, and camping.

K. Jane Burpee is the Manager of Reference and Infor-mation Literacy at the University of Guelph Library. She also teaches courses at Lakehead University through dis-tance education and has been doing so since since 1998. This spring, Jane received the Presidential Distin-guished Professor and Librarian Award (2005-6) from the University of Guelph President, Alastair Summerlee. Before joining the University of Guelph, Jane held a vari-ety of professional positions. Just before joining UG, she was the Manager of Client Services for an agency of the Ontario Ministry of Culture providing consulting to pub-lic libraries in Northern Ontario. Prior to that she was a reference librarian at Lakehead University, at Thunder Bay Public Library, and at the Science, Industry and Business Library in New York City. Jane was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. She holds an MLIS from McGill University. Her research interests include the broad areas of both reference and information literacy, with a particular focus on service to undergradu-ate students. Debby Emerson is the Assistant Director at the Roches-ter Regional Library Council (RRLC) in Fairport, NY, a position she has held since November 2000. From 1989 through October 2000 she worked at Monroe Community

College in Rochester, NY, where she served as Reference/Instruction Librarian and then as Head of Research and Instruction Services. She earned her MLS from SUNY at Buffalo in 1989. At RRLC Debby is responsible for program planning and implementation, interlibrary loan, member outreach, IT planning and oversight of IT infrastructure, and oversight of a variety of grant-funded projects. One of her recent efforts was Extending the Leadership Continuum, an LSTA-funded project that trained 36 Rochester-area li-brary staff in John Kouzes’ and Barry Posner’s The Lead-ership Challenge curriculum. 24 of the 36 new leaders went on to become “leader-trainers”, and this core group continues to pass along their leadership skills through a variety of formal and informal workshops. Debby is also active in the New York Library Association (NYLA), where she is Awards Chair for the Reference and Adult Services section and Director at Large for the Aca-demic and Special Libraries Section, as well as serving on the NYLA Continuing Education Committee. She is a member of the SUNY Librarians Association and part of the conference planning committee for the group’s 2006 annual conference. As a reviewer for Library Journal, she enjoys reading a variety of horse, dog and wildlife books!
