Chapel Hill — The Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) announces the 32 participants in the 2015 TRLN Management Academy: The Business of Libraries, to be held in Chapel Hill, NC, October 26-30. The program prepares current and potential mid-level managers in academic libraries to operate with entrepreneurial and business acumen in the management of financial and human resources. Faculty from TRLN member institutions, which include Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will conduct sessions customized for a library environment. This year’s instructional team also includes experts from the University of West Florida and Pattern Research, Inc.
Fourteen U.S. states, as well as Canada and Saudi Arabia, are represented in this year’s class. In keeping with the design of the program to meet the management training needs of its members, 12 of the participants hail from TRLN libraries. Since the inception of the Academy in 2007, librarians from 59 distinct institutions have benefited from the program.
In finalizing the cohort, the Selection Committee gave preference to applicants with responsibility for managing people or projects and those whose statement of interest and letter of recommendation from the library director best matched the Academy objectives. The 32 participants selected are:
