Registration information appears at the end of this posting. ***************************************************************************** Is your library experiencing what Peter Vaill calls "permanent white water?" Do you feel you need to be learning more, faster to adjust to new situations and to continue to make effective decisions? JOIN US IN KANSAS CITY! The Association of Research Libraries Office of Management Services has designed a 2 1/2-day Institute which allows participants to explore and work with the subject of change and its effect on the way libraries do the work they want to do. "Facilitating Change" is an opportunity to consider new approaches to the rapidly changing environment, to gain skills in making judgments and decisions while preparing for the next wave, to learn how to effectively implement desired change and manage unexpected change, and to share experiences and knowledge with one another. Finally, the Institute includes skills for analyzing and diagnosing organizational situations from the micro to the macro-levels in a way similar to that that external consultants employ. This Institute will be held in Kansas City, MO October 21-23 at the fascinating and unique Linda Hall Library. The Raphael Hotel in Kansas City's Country Club Plaza area will be home base for the participants and faculty. The Institute is appropriate for staff and administrators from all types of libraries.
