[Libs-Or] 9/25 Sherrer Lecture at Lewis & Clark

[Elaine Hirsch]

The Aubrey R. Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College is pleased to announce
that *Lizabeth (Betsy) Wilson*, Dean of University Libraries at the
University of Washington, will present the 2009 Johannah Sherrer Memorial
Lecture in Library Service on *Friday, September 25* at 3 PM in Gordon Smith
Hall on the campus of Lewis & Clark College. A reception will follow the
lecture.

Betsy's presentation, entitled "*Straws in the Wind:  Emerging Models of
Library Service*" is abstracted below:

The service models that defined excellence in academic libraries throughout
the 20th century have been challenged by the transformation in information
search and discovery, changes in scholarly publishing and distribution, a
new generation of faculty and students with any time any place expectations,
the rise of consortial and collaborative approaches, e-everything, network
scale libraries and processes, and an economic crisis of historic
proportions.  There are enough straws bending (perhaps even breaking) in the
wind to prompt a fundamental redefinition of excellence in academic
libraries in the 21st century.  This lecture will present a compelling case
for new models of library service, a lively examination of early pilots and
exemplars, and collective opportunities for innovation and exploration.
