Drucker to Address ACRL at San Francisco

Peter Drucker, noted author and management consultant, will address the Association of College and Research Libraries at its principal program meeting at the 1975 ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco.

Management and governance are among the most critical issues facing academic libraries today. Can academic libraries be governed in such a way as to provide an adequate working environment and adequate rewards for those who work in them and, at the same time, to respond adequately to the needs of their users?

The problems posed by this question are complex. They reflect the tensions generated by the pressure for full faculty status for academic librarians, the movement toward unionism, demands for more accountability from agencies outside the library, stable or declining budgets, and the increasing willingness of library administrators to embrace new management techniques developed primarily by and for business and industry.

Drucker, well known as a consultant for business and industry, will turn his attention at the San Francisco conference to The Management of Public Service Institutions. The issues he will address are crucial to all types of libraries, making this a major program event for the entire ALA conference.

Drucker’s paper will be presented Monday, June 30, at 2:00 p.m., and will be followed by a question and answer period. ACRL’s membership meeting will follow the program.

Collective Bargaining

ACRL’s Academic Status Committee will sponsor a preconference in San Francisco at the San Francisco Hilton, June 27 and 28, on Collective Bargaining in Higher Education: Its Implications for Governance and Faculty Status for Librarians. The program is part of the committee’s continuing effort to provide information and materials that will help librarians in understanding and evaluating status and governance issues.

Because many students of the academic scene view collective bargaining as a critically important and rapidly growing phenomenon in governance in higher education, it is imperative that librarians be acquainted with the characteristics of this phenomenon and with alternative ways of dealing with it.

Dr. Kenneth E. Young

Donald Wollett, director of employee relations for the State of New York and formerly professor at the School of Law at the University of California, Davis, will describe the nature of collective bargaining and its relationship to governance in higher education. A survey of experience in academic collective bargaining will be provided by Dr. Kenneth Mortimer, professor at the Center for the Study of Higher Education at Pennsylvania State University.

Dr. Jean Kennelly, assistant professor of library science at the University of Washington, will report on the current status of academic librarians’ involvement in collective bargaining; and Gwendolyn Cruzat, assistant professor of library science at the University of Michigan, will discuss issues and strategies for academic librarians.

Preconference participants will also hear presentations made by representatives of collective bargaining agents (AAUP, AFT, NEA), by advocates of an unaffiliated local unit, and by advocates of no collective bargaining.

Registrations will be accepted until June 1 and only upon payment of the fee, which is $35.00 for ALA personal members and $40.00 for nonmembers. Additional information and registration materials may be obtained from Beverly P. Lynch, Executive Secretary, ACRL, 50 E. Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611.
