And the winners are…
Here are the official results of the 1998 ACRL elections

Maureen Sullivan Larry L. Hardesty

M au reen  S u llivan , an organizational de­
velopment consultant who specializes in ser­
vice to academic libraries, is the 61st presi­
dent of ACRL. “The coming year will be 
another exciting and productive one for 
ACRL. Our 9th National Conference will be 
held in April in Detroit. This biannual event 
has proven to be one of the most important 
professional development experiences for 
academic libraries.

“The National Information Literacy Insti­
tute, an initiative approved by the ACRL 
Board of Directors under the leadership of 
ACRL President W. Lee Hisle, will convene 
n e x t su m m e r. RBMS w ill h o ld  its 
preconference in Montreal—a significant 
opportunity for collaboration with our Ca­
nadian members and colleagues.

“The Strategic Plan will be rev ised  
through a process which will engage a broad 
spectrum of our membership and will cre­
ate a platform for ACRL to play a defining 
leadership role in higher education. We will 
continue to strengthen and build alliances 
with other organizations who share our con­
cerns and interests. Professional develop­
ment will focus on building leadership skills, 
helping academ ic librarians develop the

competencies to play a leadership role in 
managing technology on their campuses, 
and supporting the work of activity sections 
to strengthen the range of specialist skills 
so critical to our contribution to student 
learning and scholarship.

“I look forward to working with Presi­
dent-elect Larry Hardesty, the ACRL Board, 
Chapters Council, and all of the member 
leaders w ho contribute through chapter, 
section, and committee work to make sig­
nificant strides to prepare academic librar­
ians and ACRL for the new millennium.”

As president, Sullivan will preside over 
the ACRL Board of Directors and ACRL Ex­
ecutive Committee, chair the ACRL Confer­
ence Program Planning for the 1999 Annual 
Conference, and plan ACRL’s major program 
at the conference. She will represent ACRL 
on the ALA New Orleans Conference Pro­
gram Planning Committee and on the ALA 
Planning and Budget Assembly, and will rep­
resent ACRL and ALA in their relations with 
other organizations.

Her ACRL committee service includes 
most recently serving on the Hugh Atkinson 
Memorial Award Jury, 1993-97; the Profes­
sional E n h an cem en t C om m ittee, 1991- 
present; and chairing the Search Committee 
for the Executive Director, 1990.

Larry H ard esty, college librarian and pro­
fessor at Austin College has been elected 
vice-president/president-elect of ACRL. He 
said, “While feeling somewhat daunted by 
the responsibility for leading ACRL into a 
new millennium, I am also very encouraged 
by the knowledge that I can call upon for 
assistance so many capable ACRL members. 
Ultimately the strength of ACRL is in its 
membership, and I strongly encourage mem­

and to keep the ACRL leadership, includ­
ing myself, inform ed about their concerns. 
I look forw ard to an exciting and p ro d u c ­
tive term in office—with a lot of help from 
my ACRL friends!”

In addition to sustaining and su p p o rt­
