>Are questions being raised on your campus about combining the administration
>of the Library and the Computer Center? Do you wonder how to respond to
>these questions? Do you wonder how such a situation works? What will your
>library gain or lose from such a merger?
>
>Come to the College Leadership Committee's discussion at ALA Annual on June
>29 and hear from colleagues who have experience with these issues. Larry
>Hardesty, College Librarian at Austin College will present an overview of
>the research he has been conducting on how considerations of
>library/computer center mergers affect the functioning of both units. Then
>Mark Cain (College of Mount St. Joseph) and Connie Dowell (Connecticut
>College) will discuss how a merger has worked on their campuses. Robin
>Wagner (Gettysburg College) will talk about both library and computer
>centers as separate entities and library/computer center mergers. Damon
>Hickey (The College of Wooster) will talk about how the library and computer
>center function as separate entities on his campus. The participants have
>been chosen for their different perspectives and opinions, so the program
>should provide much lively debate.
>
>There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion from the audience.

>Mark your calendar for June 29, 9:30 to 11 a.m. in San Francisco. Room
>location is Crowne Plaza Parc 55 - DaVinci I. Sponsored by the Leadership
