Senior Fellows Institute
Attracts International Leaders
Palmer School to Host This Year's Event
Librarians and information specialists from international universities,
colleges and networks will gather this summer at Long Island University's
Palmer School of Library and Information Science for the 1997 Senior Fellows
Institute.
Fifteen individuals who provide leadership roles in the information professions,
particularly in higher education, will be participating in the program.
Under the guidance of expert faculty, participants will explore information
policy concerns, current issues in higher education, inter-organizational
issues, how to lead change and the impact of technology on information access
and delivery.
The Senior Fellow Institute, a biennial event, will be held from July 16
through August 8 at the Palmer School on Long Island University's C.W. Post
Campus in Brookville, New York. Dr. Anne Woodsworth, dean of the Palmer
School, will direct the program.
"The leaders who participated in prior years have found the program
to be an important component in their careers, in developing a network of
life-long colleagues, as well as in their personal development," said
Dr. Woodsworth.
