  1. Building a Learning and Mentoring Community The Next Generation AULs Project Angelo, Garnets, Henry, & Kautzman

  2. Origins • Economic downturn. Severe budget cuts. Furloughs required of all. • Cuts had already been made over multiple years. • Major changes in technologies and in the field of library science. • Desire to have different conversations than occur within daily work.

  3. Purpose • Help ourselves and each other lead change strategically. • Personal and professional development. • Strengthen the UC Library through generating new ideas and approaches collaboratively. • Rest, renew, and reinvigorate. • Contribute to the sustainability of UC.

  4. Design • Susan Parker, Ph.D., Deputy UL, UCLA asked 8 AULs to participate. She led the effort over a 1.5 year period. • A+G designed, led, and offered consultation over that period of time. • Three retreats were custom designed to meet the AULs needs and interests at each juncture.

  5. Design: Session One • Get to know each other better. • Talk about present challenges and possible future strategy in ways currently not available in UC meetings. • Explore the possibility of creating a shared agenda for leadership and collaboration – to work on together over the next year. • Expand one’s knowledge and skills in leading change.

  6. Design: Session Two • Deepen understanding of one’s own and each other’s strengths as leaders. • Explore elements of influence skills. Apply this learning to one’s own library and the UC system as a whole. • Further explore creating a shared leadership project aimed at advancing constructive change across the UC system.

  7. Design: Session Three • Develop skills and capacity to enact change as an AUL to address a present challenge facing one’s own library or the UC system as a whole. • Explore tactical approaches/plans for implementing the change in one’s own library or in the UC system as a whole. • Support each other in resolving pressing issues and creating new approaches.

  8. The AULs Experience • Why we took part • What we have gained • How our libraries have benefited • What we recommend to you

  9. For You to Consider • Are you drawn to deepening the conversations you and your colleagues have with each other? • Would you like to increase your individual and shared ability to meet current and anticipated challenges? • Would it benefit you all to step outside your daily work to do this?

  10. Consider… • Do you want to help each other re-charge your batteries? • Do you feel urgency about your library’s current situation?
