Are you a librarian tied to an institution because of loyalty? Familial or geographical constraints? Are you a librarian who wanted more responsibility but found yourself limited for some reason? Have you supervised staff that was in this position? If, so what steps did you take to change the situation and/or continue your professional development? What steps did you take to help the staff person change their situation? The planning committee for the ALL-SIS Middle Manager’s Breakfast & Program chose this topic for AALL’s 2006 meeting in St. Louis, has solicited inputs from some librarians via ALL-SIS Listserve about this topic, and formed a panel to discuss these issues at the meeting. Please bring your questions, experiences, and suggestions to the meeting. We hope this provocative topic will inspire middle managers to stay happy.
