Event Description
The webinar presenters will walk attendees through a process by which common problems faced by academic libraries can potentially be resolved. The webinar will focus on budget, space, and personnel challenges using real examples. These case studies will explore the outcomes, both positive and negative, and allow the attendees to explore potential iterative approaches of their own.
Learning Objectives:
Joelle Pitts is the Senior Associate Dean for Carnegie Mellon University Libraries. In that role she is responsible for library finances, access services, technical services including cataloging and acquisitions, operations, human resources, assessment, and reporting. Previously she served as the head of the Content Development and Academic Services departments of the Kansas State University Libraries. Joelle holds masters degrees in library science and business administration. She is a founder and board member of the award-winning New Literacies Alliance, an inter-institutional information literacy consortium dedicated to creating institutional, technological, and vendor-agnostic online lessons. Integrating her instructional design, collections, and management experience, Joelle’s research areas include: distance education and e-learning theory, design, and assessment; inter-institutional collaboration; collection assessment; as well as the intersections of scholarly communication and information literacy. She has published and presented on these topics at the local, national, and international level.

She earned her MLIS at Catholic University and a Masters in Anthropology from American University in Washington DC. A regular contributor to the profession, Angie is currently the Chair of the American Library Association’s Core Division Metadata and Collections Section. Her scholarship includes peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and national conference presentations focusing on scholarly communication, collection development, e-resource management, library IT and systems, organizational change and change management.
