SHARE Director
As you all know, I’ve decided it’s time to (mostly) retire (again), and Friday, September 1 will be my last day of full-time employment at Illinois Heartland Library System.
First, I want to thank all of you for the kind words, cards, and emails you’ve sent my way. It has truly been a pleasure working with all of you as we’ve built the largest—and dare I say BEST?--library automation consortium in North America!
Second, I thought you all might like to know where we stand with filling the SHARE Director position.
Continuation of member services and support is still the primary objective, and Joan Bauer (SHARE Manager for Bibliographic Services) and Traci Edwards (SHARE Manager for Administrative Services) have been appointed Interim SHARE Co-Directors. I am confident Traci and Joan will lead our SHARE organization through this transition period, until the new director is ready to step in.
Next week, in addition to starting in my new role at IHLS—Grant Specialist—I will be taking care of some of the tasks that Lesley Zavediuk normally handles, as she and her family make the move to North Carolina. Please see below for more information on that subject.
Finally, feel free to send me any ideas you might have regarding grants I can pursue, as well as ideas for targets for grant funding. I’ll still be using the cdawdy@illinoisheartland.org email address, though the tagline will read Grant Specialist instead of SHARE Director!
