昨日看ALA網站,有看到發佈去年ALA年刊,本想今日細看,但今日再看網站時,看到了這則:Leslie Burger elected ALA president for 2006-2007


摘譯如下:

Leslie Burger,這位普林斯頓公共圖書館館長,獲選為ALA 2006-2007年度總裁,Burger贏了Christine Lind Hage,Clinton-Macomb公共圖書館館長.。Burger以5401票勝過Hage的4598票。
她表示「我很惶恐的接受這個榮譽,並且會努力的為ala的會員服務。」她說「在競選的數月裡,我遇到了不同種類、不同國家的圖書館,他們和我分享了如何能讓ALA幫助各圖書館成功經營的願景。我知道在我們一起努力下,可以幫助明日的圖書館比昨日更好。」


五柳先生何許人? Leslie Burger是誰?可見http://lb.princetonlibrary.org/
和http://lb.princetonlibrary.org/biography.html

職位簡歷如下:
President, Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies, 1995 -1996
●President, New Jersey Library Association, 2001 - 2002
●President, Connecticut Library Association 1982 - 1983
●Member of the American Library Association’s Council, 2002 - date
● Connecticut Chapter Councilor, American Library Association Council, 1984 -1987
● Connecticut Chapter Representative, New England Library Association, 1979 – 1981
●Chair, Independent Librarians Exchange Round Table, 1998 - 2000
●Chair, State Library Agency Section, Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies, 1981 -1982

嘖嘖,全是總統(President)和椅子(Chair)等級的職位(我特愛把主席說成椅子人), 而且
她還得到2004 New York Times圖書館員獎。厲害人物。

學歷呢?
MS, Organizational Behavior, University of Hartford, 1988
●MLS, University of Maryland College Park, 1974
●BS, Cum Laude, Southern Connecticut State College, 1973
哇…雙碩,還是哈佛 (哼~) 的,而圖資碩士是馬里蘭大學(是那個馬里蘭大學嗎?)

最後了解一下她的競選承諾
  • 推動各類圖書館公共支援 (galvanize public support for all types of libraries)
  • 宣揚為什麼今日圖書館比以往更被需要 ( communicate why libraries are more essential than ever)
  • 確保所有圖館員工能得到合理的報償,高度的受到重視和在社區裡獲得成功(ensure that all library workers are well compensated, highly regarded and vital to the success of their communities.)
  • 快速和果斷的去推動憲法第一修正案,Open acess和合理使用權,以縮小資訊取得的障礙。(act quickly and decisively to promote First Amendment, open access and fair-use rights and reduce barriers to information access.)
  • 努力去招募和留下不同的工作人才以準備下個世代的領袖人才。(work tirelessly to recruit and retain a diverse work force prepared to become the next generation of leaders.)
  • 由新一代得館員和圖書館工作者建立擴張參與ALA的領導地位 establish expanded avenues for ALA participation and leadership by a new generation of librarians and library workers
可以很清楚的看到,ALA能有領導世界圖書館地位是其來有自,在選舉總裁時,下個年度的願景就能很清楚的看到,同時也有符合時事,包括了OPEN ACCESS和其它基本願景。至於能不能做到,我想,明年我們可以再看看她做到了多少。

明確的設立目標、和讓所有memeber認知、再努力達到目標,我想組織要成功,這是一個基本的條件吧。
