ACRL Strategic Thinking Guide for Academic Librarians

ACRL released this 9 page document in March:

ACRL 2009 Strategic Thinking Guide for Academic Librarians in the New Economy

Prepared by:
Kathryn Deiss, ACRL Content Strategist
Mary Jane Petrowski, ACRL Associate Director
With contributions from:
ACRL Research Coordinating Committee
ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee

It explores the three drivers for asynchronous and disconitnuous change in academic environments. These are:

Driver #1: The Economy and Higher Education
Driver #2: Students
Driver #3: Technology

With all this change and disruption many strategies will need to be re-thought and reconfigured to be successful. No 5 year plan is written in stone.

This discussion document might be a good place to start this review. Just the exact sort of thing our associations should be doing for us.
