I attended the SUNY Council of Library Directors (SCLD) meeting at the Woodcliff in Fairport, NY on Thursday, October 15th and Friday, October 16th and I am now part of two teams within SCLD. As part of the SCLD strategic plan, I will be engaged in the Advocacy Group where I will be primarily contributing to establishing a web presence for SUNY Libraries on the
http://www.suny.edu site. I will provide more information on this initiative soon. Members of the Advocacy Group working to raise the profile and promote the value of SUNY Libraries include:
Matthew Best, Erie Community College
Jessica Clemons, College of Environmental Science & Forestry
Michelle Currier, SUNY Canton
Mary Donohue, Fulton-Montgomery Community College
David Haggstrom, SUNY College of Technology at Alfred
Suzanne Hayes, Empire State College
Bill Jones, SUNY Geneseo
Susan Lieberthal, Suffolk Community College – Ammerman Campus
Mark McBride, Monroe Community College
Terry Ronning, Adirondack Community College
Mark Smith, College of Ceramics at Alfred
I will also be participating in the SUNY-wide Integrated Library System (ILS) selection process, as well as helping to plan the next SCLD Meeting for Spring 2016.
