Abstract
Presented as part of The Library and Institutional Success online professional development series hosted by the Chronicle of Higher Education in collaboration with ITHAKA S+R.
In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, academic library leaders play a critical role in advancing institutional success. As stewards of knowledge and innovation, they are uniquely positioned to influence and expand the library’s impact across research, teaching, and student success.
This session explores how library leaders can strategically align services and resources with the broader goals of their institutions, reinforcing the library’s value and ensuring its continued relevance in the face of digital transformation and changing academic needs. Topics include key institutional priorities, aligning library goals to those priorities, emerging areas such as digital scholarship, generative AI, research partnerships, and teaching collaborations, as well as strategies for assessing and communicating the library’s impact.
