Lankes Named Next Director of Syracuse’s Library Science Program

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

From the Dean:

“I am very pleased to announce that Dave Lankes will be the next Director of our MLIS Program, beginning with a year of shadowing of current Director, Scott Nicholson. Dave, Scott, and I have been meeting recently and exploring some very exciting ideas for the program – which we will share shortly – so trust that the very positive trajectory of our MLIS Program will continue. Scott has had a wonderful tenure as Director, and we are extremely grateful for his excellent leadership. While we know he is a tough act to follow, Dave surely is the right person to take on the challenge.

Fighting for the Soul of Libraries

Friday, June 12th, 2009

“Fighting for the Soul of Libraries” New York State Library Assistants Association, Troy, NY

Abstract: Libraries are changing – transforming from quiet buildings with loud rooms to loud buildings with quiet rooms – from places for things to places for knowledge and learning. This change is too big and important. Every one from librarian to assistant to patron must help shape the future of our libraries. Come start the conversation.
