The Transformation of the College Library initiative is a series of workshops to strengthen the contribution of libraries to teaching and learning. The workshops will focus on the dramatic changes now occurring in college libraries and are intended to help small and mid-sized colleges and universities deal successfully with those changes. The programs will address such critical issues as advancing information literacy as an element of liberal education; the role of the library in teaching and learning through collaboration between librarians and faculty members; the changing use and conception of the physical space of the library; the challenges of using technology in improving students’ learning; setting institutional priorities for library-related costs when they increasingly exceed standard budget guidelines; implementing institutional change; and assessing the institution-wide impact of changes in library services. The workshops are being organized by the Council of Independent Colleges and the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education with the financial support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation. The workshops are sponsored by the Association of College and Research Libraries and the Council on Library and Information Resources. The Appalachian College Association and the United Negro College Fund have both endorsed the program. Teams from independent colleges and universities are invited to apply to participate in one of three regional workshops held in Chicago, New Orleans, and Boston. Institutions that are accepted as participants will receive a travel stipend of up to $1,600. Co-directors of the workshop are Scott Bennett, Yale University Librarian Emeritus; Rita Gulstad, Interim Vice President and Dean of the University at Central Methodist University; and Thomas Kirk, Library Director and Coordinator of Information Services at Earlham College. The advisory committee for the project includes Michael Bell, Provost at Franklin Pierce College; Sister Patricia Matthews, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Marywood University; and Susan Perry, Senior Advisor at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Director of Programs for the Council on Library and Information Resources. Archives: 2004 Library Workshops;
