New academic library leader discussion series: Part three

Abstract

Amanda Clay Powers (ACP), Martin Garnar (MG), and Dustin Fife (DF) are all relatively new library deans or directors. This series is their attempt to discuss the process of moving to a new library and becoming more than just a new manager, but truly a leader. In part three, Powers, Garnar, and Fife will explore some of the lessons they have learned. In part two, the authors focused on their first 100 days on the job and, in part one, they discussed finding their new jobs. Powers, Garnar, and Fife believe this open and honest conversation is essential to help prepare future library deans, directors, and leaders.
