I am interested in putting together a panel for the 2016 ALADN Conference
which will take place
in Boston, MA from June 1 – 4, 2016.
Academic Library Advancement and Development Network (ALADN) explores
issues of interest, offers networking, and assists in mutual
problem-solving for professionals involved in advancement and development
for academic and research libraries.
The panel I am proposing would focus on the nurturing relationships that
academic library special collections typically build with individuals, book
dealers, organizations, and corporations which often yield goodwill,
financial donations, and gift-in-kind support.
A few aspects that this panel could explore include:
- book collectors - research, building collections, and planned donations
- book dealers - sharing of item research information, collaborative
thematic exhibits/displays b/w universities and local bookstores
- corporations - asking for their assistance, particularly re.
innovation & technology
- The goodwill garnered through no licensing fees for use of special
collections content
The panel is an hour in length. If you can attend the ALADN Conference and
can address the nature of special collections relationships, ethical/legal
considerations of those close relationships, and outcomes in terms of
fundraising and advancement in an impassioned and concise manner, I'd enjoy
hearing from you by January 4th.
Thank you!
Blynne
