As they talk about leadership challenges and opportunities, among the topics the speakers will address are: adapting to institutional cultures, understanding the parameters of the job in general and specifically the issues of advocacy for special collections, strategic planning, and building community relationships; setting strategic priorities in the early years of one’s tenure; managing change and navigating through conflict.

Come hear about how a project at the University of Arizona Libraries has accomplished this! The Historical Mexican and Mexican-American Press project focused on digitizing publications from Tucson, El Paso, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sonora, Mexico, ranging from the mid-1800s through the 1980s. These newspapers and magazines covered important events in Mexican-American history, from the Mexican Revolution to the Bracero Program to the Chicano Movement. The presenters will discuss the origin of the project, selection of the publications for digitization, and challenges experienced during the project. We will also show the digitized newspapers and talk about the impact of making them available online.
