Management, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills are essential for today’s successful librarian. Join us April 21-22, 2010, for the ACRL/LLAMA Spring Virtual Institute – “Doing Well by Doing Good”: Entrepreneurial Leadership for Librarians. The institute will explore different models and aspects of leadership and management and their impact on librarianship in today’s challenged and flat economic environments. The institute features both synchronous and asynchronous sessions with archives of all programs available for on-demand viewing for a full year after the event.

• “Going Viral: Tweeting from the Johns Hopkins University Libraries”
• “Nurturing Failure: Creating a Risk-Tolerant Library Culture that Embraces Change and Innovation”
• “50 Things Library Employees Should Never Do”
• “Building an Entrepreneurial Academic Library”
• “The Hiring, Staffing, and Recruitment Puzzle: How to Fit the Pieces Together
• “Mentoring and Supervision: When Roles Collide”
