Distinctive Positioning for the Future

3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Rebecca Jones, Director, LLEAD Institute Partner Emeritus, Dysart & Jones Associates

Jill Strand, Senior Manager, Library and Knowledge Information Systems, Fish & Richardson, P.C. Past President, SLA

Linda Hazzan, Director, Communications, Programming, & Customer Engagement, Toronto Public Library

This session looks at how libraries can distinguish themselves from other community activities and services, how they can partner with some of those other community groups and still keep their distinctiveness, and more. Think about where the learning commons ends and the library starts and how they interact; where the museum ends and the library starts; how public libraries can share programs with the zoo; how academic libraries can draw their non-academic communities in for support; and more.
