[NewtoLibraries] 25-26 UIowa SLIS Professional Development Series - Final Event

[Calabrese, Cara Mia]

Mark your calendars for T<https://events.uiowa.edu/event/37289>uesday, April 7,  at 7 pm CT/ 8 pm ET<https://events.uiowa.edu/event/37289>,  for the eighth 25-26 UIOWA SLIS Professional Development Series "Professional Growth Through Personal Engagement" session featuring Kellee Warren on "Reluctant Leadership/Management for Mid-Career Librarians," our last session of the 25-26 academic year!
Kellee E. Warren is Associate Professor and Special Collections Librarian for University of Illinois Chicago, where her current research is on teaching with Chicago design collections and Black representation in nineteenth century children's literature in the U.S.. In this presentation, she will facilitate a candid discussion on the benefits and challenges of advancement into management and leadership for both early and mid-career librarians. While some early career librarians have the curiosity and ambition to become part of senior management, even with library manager training programs, they are often not set up for success. Concurrently, through personal experience, observation, and an intuitive sense of the sacrifices, many mid-career librarians often find themselves in middle management roles and are reluctant to advance to senior management. This presentation will provide a brief history of U.S. management practice, discuss the importance of specific skills and training, and interrogate what it means to be a library manager and/or leader.
