SI 518: Special Topics: Seminar on Library Leadership
This course introduces students to the different kinds of libraries and the leadership challenges and opportunities that each faces. Five leaders will be invited by Dean Martha E. Pollack to be interviewed by the instructor, Assistant Professor Tiffany Veinot, with questions generated by the students in the first class session. Such questions may include their career trajectory/history, particular skills that are important for this library/job, professional associations they belong to, leadership challenges, and vision for the future, etc. Students benefit from hearing different answers from the different leaders, and in the last class session, will have an opportunity to compare and contrast what they have heard. Students will write a short paper comparing their top two preferred choices on what they have heard. Students will compile a coordinated set of wiki pages listing the basic facts about each librarian type, such as salary ranges for starting positions, and courses at SI and U-M that would benefit their landing the entry-level position, etc.
