  • ALCTS Technical Services Directors of Large Research Libraries Harvard Library ALA Annual / June 2017
    ALCTS Technical Services Directors of Large Research Libraries Harvard Library ALA Annual / June 2017 The following report includes contributions from Michelle Durocher, Steven Folsom, Jaime McAllister- Grande, Chew Chiat Naun, Isabel Quintana, Susan Radovsky, Lauren Syer, and Scott Wicks Organizational changes: In September of 2016, the Harvard Library brought Information and Technical Services (ITS), Scholarly Communications, and Harvard College collection development together under the leadership of Elizabeth (Eliz) Kirk, Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Resources. This new role aligns the three component and interdependent functions. Staffing changes: Chew Chiat Naun has joined the Harvard team as Head of Metadata Creation, the group whose main responsibility is to provide intellectual access to the general collections acquired for Harvard libraries in the form of original cataloging and metadata problem solving at the title level. Naun comes to us from Cornell University Library, a close Harvard partner both in terms of collection sharing and metadata standards and tools development. Recruitment: Harvard Library is recruiting for its Head of Electronic Resources position. In addition to leading a seasoned team already managing e-resource operations, this person has a strong focus external to the department. S/he will take a key role engaging with the Library community to formulate and implement policy among the twelve schools that together make up One Harvard Library. S/he will consider how collaborative collection development can enhance the current e- resource offerings (within Harvard, within ReCAP, within the Ivy Plus libraries, or other multi- institutional arrangements such as NERL). S/he also will consider how best to leverage open access opportunities as part of a holistic approach to providing Harvard’s user communities with unimpeded access to content.

Rubenstein Fellowship 90 Wexner Israel Fellowship 114 Zuckerman Fellowship 126 Index of Fellows 147 - 148 Letter from the CPL Leadership Team At its core, the raison d’être of the Center for Public Leadership (CPL) is to provide the tools necessary for the next generation of ardent public servants to assume the mantle of responsible leadership. Fellows of CPL, past and present, have distinguished themselves as being among the most promising of their generation—having the capacity to assume this mantle—and are to be commended. Our mission during their time at CPL is to transform latent capacity into future action by providing the knowledge, experiences, and hands-on leadership learning enabling them to operate and contribute on stages both national and international. As a class you will collectively weave a broad tapestry of backgrounds—cultural, educational, economic, religious, and geo- political. Each of you will be greatly enriched by these experiences and the opportunity to learn from one another—and CPL will learn and grow with you. We are grateful to the nine donors highlighted herein who recognize this tapestry and provide robust fellowships through our Center at the Kennedy School, allowing each fellow to go forward in making the world a better place.
