Challenges
Communicating effectively 
across space & time for a large 
group is a challenge.
We implemented a Weekly Report 
but we can do more…
Another challenge is two-fold: Outdated notions of what 
libraries are, and our libraries’ current footprint. 
! 
It means we must use our space effectively 
in ways that ignite imagination.

A third challenge is me and my lack of experience 
in libraries managing collections and facilities. 
But I hope to also be part of the solution.
Where are we going?
I see the wonderful, unique areas of our team as an 
ecosystem. Research, teaching, and learning 
are not easily untangled from one another.
In order to get to the vibrant ecosystem view, 
we’ll need to focus on these areas in 2015.
