And the winners are…: The official results of the 2003 ACRI elections

Tyrone H. Cannon

Frances Maloy

Tyrone H. Cannon,dean of University Libraries at the University of San Francisco (USF), is the 66th president of ACRL.

As president, Cannon will preside over the ACRL Board of Directors and ACRL Executive Committee, chair the ACRL Conference Program Planning Committee for the 2004 Annual Conference, and plan ACRL’s major program at the conference. He will work with the ALA president and other division presidents representing ACRL both within and outside of ALA.

“I am honored to have been elected ACRL president. ACRL is a vital association and an important one for academic and research librarians and libraries around the world. For me, ACRL has been a professional, collegial, and inspirational resource for more than twenty years. Our association’s past and present leadership has strategically positioned us to provide proactive delivery of information and services to faculty, students, and the broader communities that surround our colleges and universities. Our members’ willingness to serve on committees and task forces, speak at our national and local conferences, stand for elected positions, and liaison with our colleagues in higher education helps to make ACRL the premiere association for academic and research librarians.

“For my presidential year, I have chosen the theme, ‘Partnerships and Connections: The Learning Community as Knowledge Builders.’ My theme will promote the partnerships and collaborations that academic and research librarians have on their campuses with faculty, researchers, students, information technology professionals, administrators, and staff to promote information literacy’s role in enhancing learning communities and lifelong learning. The skill set, operationalized by information literacy, prepares individuals to be successful in their academic studies and in their professional and personal lives. Information is power and academic and research librarians have the key. This key equips our constituents with the skills to navigate the sometimes not carefully charted waters of Web search engines, directories, and electronic databases.

“As an association, we will work to encourage members to provide leadership in promulgating on their campuses the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. These important standards are the cornerstone for ACRL’s twenty-first century information literacy initiatives and they have important correlation with other ACRL information literacy based programs such as the Immersion Institute and the collaboration between ACRL and the TLT group to offer the Best Practices in Information Literacy in Undergraduate Education seminar. I hope this theme resonates with you, as academic and research librarians, and encourages you to talk about and share the wonderful things we are doing to advance scholarship through information literacy.

“The current ACRL strategic plan expires in 2005 and the process to revise the plan will begin during my presidency. ACRL must explore ways to position itself as an even more flexible, responsive, and relevant association for its membership. As an organization, we will work to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive planning process. Stay tuned!

“Strong professional associations need continuity. In this context, I will advance the themes and build on the work accomplished by recent ACRL presidents. Within the partnerships and collaborations theme, my presidential priorities include: promoting the ACRL @ your library campaign; advancing the scholarly communication initiative; collaborating with AASL to promote K-12 information literacy, beginning next steps for the Focus on the Future Task Force identified issues; and working to recruit and retain a diverse and talented pool of academic and research librarians.

“My vice-presidential year ends at the close of the ALA conference in Toronto. It has been a pleasure to serve you in this capacity. I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to meet many of you at ALA, ACRL Charlotte, and at the Wisconsin Association of Academic Librarians. I look forward to our partnerships and connections!”

“I am committed to furthering ACRL’s strategic plan, and I will give particular emphasis to recruitment and retention of librarians and service to members. I thank you for giving me the chance to continue to build upon the excellent work already underway, while being responsive to member needs.”
