C&RL News June 2022 278 Erin L. Ellis, associate dean of research and learning services at Indiana University, is the 85th president of ACRL. “I’m deeply honored to serve as ACRL President. This role comes with tremendous opportunity and respon- sibility to advance the critically important work that we do in academic libraries, to advocate on behalf of academic library workers and our college and research communities, and to collaborate and partner with our colleagues across ALA and with other higher education associations. I’m excited to work with members on the continued growth and advancement of ACRL and address the ongoing transformations occurring across our profession. “We continue to face complex matters as we cope with the consequences of the pandemic and as we undertake efforts to dismantle systems of racism and op- pression in our communities and workplaces. We’re confronting challenges to our professional values, as well as fiscal challenges, and undergoing a deep examination of association priorities, but our ACRL community is rising to the occasion. Our committees, sections, and interest groups are advancing critically important work across these issues and facilitating vital conversations with members. Our ACRL Board and staff, too, are examining policies and practices to improve equity, diversity, and inclusion throughout our association. I look forward to working with members on these many issues and supporting ongoing efforts. Together, the ACRL community can create, grow, and address these challenges effectively and set a constructive course for ACRL’s future. “As I step into this role, I’m eager to amplify ACRL and member successes, confront and reconcile where our community falls short, and cultivate conditions where members can meaningfully contribute, thrive, and succeed in ACRL. I’m grateful to the incredible ACRL staff who provide tremendous guidance and support in all ACRL endeavors and to ACRL Board members who are committed to strengthening our association and to listening, working, and developing with this inspiring community.” During her 17 years of ACRL membership, Ellis has served as chair of the ACRL Appointments Committee (2015-17, 2018-19), as a member of the ACRL Conference Invited Presentations Committee (2017-19), as a member of the Research Planning and Review Committee (2019-20), and as cochair of the President’s Program Planning Committee (2014-16, 2017-19). She was chair of the Publications Coordinating Committee (2017- 18; vice-chair, 2016-17), during which time she served as ex-officio on the New Publications Advisory Board along with the C&RL, C&RL News, Academic Library Trends and Statistics Survey, CHOICE, Publications in Librarianship, RBM, and Resources for College Libraries editorial boards.

Beth McNeil, dean of Libraries and School of Information Studies and Esther Ellis Norton, professor of library science at Purdue University, has been elected ACRL vice-president/president-elect. “It is my great honor and privilege to serve. Throughout my career, ACRL has consistently provided me with professional growth opportunities through its stellar conferences, timely road shows, and other educational offerings. I have valued the opportunities to learn from ACRL programs and the networking experiences that have led to invaluable mentoring relationships and lifelong friends. Having served on several committees and the Board as a director-at-large, ACRL has long been my professional home. I look forward to this new opportunity to give back to an organization that has given me so much, while listening and ensuring that all members find their own sense of belonging, community, professional growth, and success through their involvement in ACRL. With this in mind, I plan to build on the excellent work and progress made by previous leaders and members, particularly the work that ACRL does to advance equity, diversity, and inclusion in our organization and our libraries. Previous ACRL presidents have focused in this area and advanced our understanding of these issues. I strongly believe that continuing this important work is crucial for ACRL’s Core Commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion as we strive to deeply and thoughtfully permeate these values and practices into our committees, our programs, and our membership. I would also like to recognize and further the excellent work that ACRL has done to advance sustainable and open scholarship. The move to open science/open scholarship will lead to fundamental changes for higher education and our libraries, and I believe that college and university librarians have a role and a responsibility in helping to change the model. I believe ACRL can continue to build its support and advocacy in this area, and I look forward to the challenge of helping to shift academic culture towards a more equitable, open future.” During her 32 years of ACRL membership, McNeil has served as chair of the ACRL 2021 Conference (2019- 21), director-at-large on the ACRL Board of Directors (2015-19), member of the 2019 Conference Coordinating Committee (2017-19), member of the ACRL 2019 Colleagues Committee (2017-19), cochair of the ACRL 2019 Contributed Papers committee (2017-19), member of the ACRL 2015 Conference Coordinating Com- mittee (2013-15), cochair of the ACRL 2015 Contributed Papers Committee (2013-15), chair of the ACRL Appointments Committee (2013-14), member of the ACRL 2013 Conference Coordinating Committee (2011- 13), cochair of the ACRL 2013 Volunteers Committee (2011-13), chair of the ACRL Friends Fund Committee Beth McNeil C&RL News June 2022 280 (2009-11), member of the ACRL 2009 National Conference Coordinating Committee (2007-09), and cochair of the ACRL 2009 Workshops Committee (2007-09).
