Directors, leaders, balance–and directions for PLN
This week’s post at PLN Highlights–the notification mechanism for the PALINET Leadership Network, which you really should join (if you’re not already a member). It’s free, it’s loaded with material, it needs your participation
What’s up at PALINET Leadership Network (PLN)?
- “Directors, leaders and work-life balance” offers diverse perspectives on two key sets of questions:
- Can you be a library leader and still maintain a reasonable balance between the demands of work and the rest of your life? To put it another way, can you have it all?
- Can you be a library director or administrator and have it all?
- We’re trying to make sure you can always explore further and that you can find worthwhile articles in a variety of ways. To that end, we’ve eliminated “orphan articles”–which is to say that every article in PLN has a related-article link from at least one other article. The goal is to have all but the briefest items also have outbound links to the most appropriate other articles. You can help: If you see an article relationship that isn’t flagged, add it yourself or send me a note (crawford@palinet.org).
PLN exists to serve your needs as a current or future library leader. Two current polls on the general feedback page will help us determine how to do that better. Should we provide more technology briefings and commentary (such as the Kindle/ebook cluster)–and should we provide more policy briefings and commentary (such as the Open Source cluster). We need your feedback and ideas to improve PLN–and we encourage you to contribute and to tell your colleagues about the PALINET Leadership Network.
