We are confident that Judson’s best days are ahead and anticipate God’s goodness and direction as we seek Him for his best representative to lead our institution. We encourage you to read through this Opportunity Profile and explore the Judson University website.

  • Annual Report July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020
    FISCAL YEAR 2020 ANNUAL REPORT JULY 1, 2019-JUNE 30, 2020 The Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois empowers Illinois academic and research libraries to create and sustain a rich, supportive, and diverse knowledge environment that furthers excellence in teaching, learning, research, and innovation in order to serve students, faculty, and researchers. As a collective, CARLI adds value to member libraries of all types, sizes, and missions by sharing costs, collections, expertise, programs, products, and services. (CARLI Mission Statement 2018) CARLI continues to focus on providing excellence, leadership, innovation, and collaboration consistent with our organizational values: • Careful stewardship of all CARLI resources • Cooperation and Engagement among academic and research libraries • Responsiveness to member needs • Commitment to intellectual freedom, privacy, security of library records, library standards, and open access to information resources • Advocacy for academic and research libraries at the local, state, regional, and national levels • Innovation in identifying and implementing collaborative solutions to shared challenges Fiscal Year 2020 was drastically different for everyone because of the pandemic. National, state, and local leaders began shuttering businesses, offices, and campuses due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020. As faculty and staff at CARLI member institutions struggled to quickly pivot to working from home and online instruction, CARLI staff worked to support members as they provided services and materials. As the pandemic continued, many member libraries received news of staff layoffs and/or furloughs and deep reductions to materials budgets. The CARLI Board of Directors and staff held emergency meetings to identify ways in which the organization could support members during these extraordinary times.
