Cannon H e le n H. S p a ld in g , associate director of libraries at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), is the 65th president of ACRL. As president, Spalding will preside over the ACRL Board of Directors and ACRL Ex­ ecutive Committee, chair the ACRL Confer­ ence Program Planning Committee for the 2003 Annual Conference, and plan ACRL’s major program at the conference. She will w ork with the ALA president and other divi­ sion presidents representing ACRL both within and outside of ALA. “I am humbled and honored to have been elected ACRL President. I have gained so much personally and professionally through ACRL ac­ tivities and publications, I want to make sure as many members as possible have the same op­ portunity to participate that I have had. “In recognition of the changing environ­ m ents in which w e work, which create the need to develop and respond to new rela­ tionships and partnerships, I have selected the theme, ‘New Realities, New Relationships,’ for my term. “The willingness of m em bers to devote their time and talent to new efforts continues to be impressive and guarantees that w e will make measurable progress tow ard increas­ ing the visibility and value of academic and research librarians in the eyes of our users and potential supporters. Developing new and stronger relationships am ong ACRL units and betw een ACRL and other organizations also will enable us to learn from each other and m obilize our resources to tackle com m on challenges. “The initiatives gaining m om entum dur­ ing the next year are so exciting! New com­ mittees and task forces are addressing m em­ b er priorities, including support for library financial and staff resources, library market­ ing, and positioning ACRL to be responsive to diverse m em bers in a new future. The Board has established a Scholarly Communi­ cations Committee and a part-time visiting program officer position to provide greater support for addressing the costs of scholarly comm unication. The ACRL/ARL Joint Task Force on Recruitment to the Profession will focus on recruitment to the profession of aca­ demic and research librarianship. In addition, I will be proposing an ACRL Spectrum Scholar Mentor Task Force to organize a program to pair each new Spectrum Scholar with an aca­ demic or research librarian mentor. Hopefully, once the m entor program is established, m en­ tors also can be paired with other new gradu­ ate students in library school. “The ALA @ Your Library Campaign is fo­ cusing this year on the marketing of academic and research libraries and librarians through its first mini-campaign. In tandem with the mini-campaign, the ACRL @ Your Library Task Force is developing key m essages and m ate­ rials to articulate to students, faculty, adm in­ istrators, donors, legislators, and society at C o l l e g e & R e s e a r c h L i b r a r i e s news C&RL News ■ June 2002 / 437 large the unique value that academic and re­ search libraries a n d librarians provide to higher education, scholarship, econom ic de­ velopm ent, and the preservation of our cul­ ture. ACRL m em bers will have access to m a­ terials that can be custom ized on the local level to provide better advocacy for library funding and recruitment of staff, and better m arketing of their libraries’ collections and services. “T he ACRL A ssociation o f th e Future Task Force is taking a fresh lo o k at ACRL a n d at the changing d em o g rap h ics a n d e n ­ v iro n m en t u n folding in th e n e w century.

The April ACRL National Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, is scheduling beneficial p reconferences and engaging speakers. The June 2003 ALA An­ nual Conference in Toronto promises new experiences and a more global perspective on the issues w e face. “I look forward to facilitating new rela­ tionships, allowing us to gain greater under­ standing of the new realities in which w e live and work, so that w e will be able to continue to provide quality library services to those w ho d e p en d u p o n us in the future.” Spalding has been associate director of li­ braries at UMKC since 1985.
