W. Lee Hisle

Maureen Sullivan

W. Lee Hisle,associate vice-president of Learning Resource Services at Austin Community College (ACC), is the 60th president of ACRL. Hisle has many plans for his year as president. “The members of ACRL can look forward to an interesting and eventful year. Next summer, at ALA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., programs will explore the values of academic librarianship as related to the many facets of our profession. Individual programs will culminate in the President’s Program, which will look at the issue from a broad perspective. In support of the ACRL Strategic Plan, legislative advocacy for academic librarians will be emphasized, in conjunction with increased interaction with the ALA Washington Office. Also, collaborating with other higher education organizations on concerns of mutual interest will continue to be an important goal. Planning for a Higher Education Summit Meeting will continue. Another important initiative for the association is the National Information Literacy Institute, which will eventually provide a major new education program for ACRL members. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead ACRL this year; I hope it will be a memorable and valuable one for all members.”

As president, Hisle will preside over the ACRL Board of Directors and ACRL Executive Committee, chair the ACRL Conference Program

Planning Committee for the 1998 Annual Conference, and plan ACRL’s major program at the conference. He will represent ACRL on the ALA Washington Conference Program Planning Committee, and on the ALA Planning and Budget Assembly, and will represent ACRL and ALA in their relations with other organizations.

In ALA Hisle has served as a member of the Council since 1994; on the ALA Standards Committee, and as its chair in 1995-96; and on the Committee on Organization.
