June 6, 2008

Salve Regina University, Newport, RI

Program Title:  Is there a Consolidation in Your Library’s Future?

Description for program brochure:

Thomas Hennen knows a bit about library consolidation possibilities.  His federated library system has been the target of such plans.  He has consulted with libraries in Iowa, Missouri, and elsewhere on the issue.  His October 2005 article in American Libraries magazine has elicited much discussion in the library world.  If the consolidation issue concerns you, attend this program.  Hennen won’t lay all your hopes and fears to rest, but he will arm you with that most potent of librarian weapons; information on the issue.

Speaker’s bio: 

Thomas J. Hennen Jr., a librarian for over 30 years, is the Director of Waukesha County Federated Library System in Wisconsin.  Library periodicals such as Library Journal, American Libraries, and the Australian Library and Information Science Journal have published over 50 of his articles on topics ranging from children’s literature to rural library service, library futures, standards, and accounting.   In 2004 Neal-Schuman published his book, Hennen's Public Library Planner.  It is used by libraries across the country to plan for a better future. Hennen developed the HAPLR rating system. The HAPLR system uses data provided by 9,000 public libraries in the United States to create comparative rankings. HAPLR provides a comparative rating system that librarians, trustees and the public can use to improve and extend library services. Hennen has addressed professional library associations in 16 U.S. states, 3 Canadian Provinces, and in Australia during his career.
