Responsibilities

Plan agendas for discussion group meetings at ALA Midwinter and Annual Conferences by determining topic and format. Agendas for previous conference meetings have included a call sent out on relevant e-mail distribution lists for proposals to present a topic and lead a discussion, optionally followed by a convener-led group discussion. Topics discussed include the issues of librarians who are increasingly involved in all aspects of higher education (accreditation, curriculum planning, student and academic support services, computer services, funding, etc.) and who hold positions or are interested in university-level campus administration.

The conveners serve as the moderator for the Campus Administration and Leadership Discussion Group e-mail list.

The committees use this online form to submit requests for promotion of committee and discussion group activities.
