Newer law library directors face a number of simultaneous challenges, often in an unfamiliar organization. The workshop features experienced legal educators and law library directors. The directors will reflect on the challenges, as well as rewards, of becoming a successful director. Issues addressed include: the challenges of establishing oneself in a new role and organization; balancing administrative duties and the responsibilities beyond administering the law library; upsides and downsides of various forms of status for the law library director; establishing the law library as an essential factor in the success of the law school; and the roles and competencies of directors who successfully position their libraries as innovative contributors to the success of the law school. Special emphasis will be given to emerging issues within the rapidly changing landscape of legal education.
