june13_b.indd C&RL News June 2013 296 Trevor A. Dawes, associate university librar- ian at Washington University in St. Louis, is the 76th president of ACRL. “It has been such a pleasure for me to serve as ACRL vice-president during this past year. Having the opportunity to meet and engage with members, hearing about the wonderful and exciting projects on which they have been working, and learning about how each member contributes to the success of the association has been so very rewarding. “I’ve worked closely with the Appoint- ments Committee to help ensure our mem- bers remain engaged by carrying out the as- sociation’s work; I’ve been invited to speak at several state and regional chapter conferences and am looking forward to those meetings; and I met several members at the ACRL 2013 conference in Indianapolis who shared their excitement, not only about the conference programs, exhibits, and time with friends and colleagues, but also about the great work that ACRL has been doing and how they are using what they learn from ACRL in their work. “In 2013-14, I look forward to continuing the work of our colleagues in helping to demonstrate how ACRL, the higher education association for librarians, advances learning and transforms scholarship. In addition to continuing the work of the strategic goal area committees (value of academic libraries, student learning, and research and scholarly environment), I will focus our attention on a particular area of student learning—financial literacy. “Although encompassing more than col- lege affordability, the ACRL 2014 President’s Program Committee will develop or enhance, and make available some resources that will enable academic librarians to effectively partner with other campus colleagues to cre- ate and share tools that enable our students to become more financially literate. Several libraries are already collaborating with cam- pus partners to share resources, and we’ll be asking you to share these stories in order to capitalize and build on them. Several col- leagues have commented on the appropri- ateness—or irony—of an ACRL President’s Program with a theme of financial literacy that will take place in Las Vegas! “I hope you are as excited and energized as I am about the year ahead.” As president, Dawes will preside over the ACRL Board of Directors and ACRL Executive Committee, and plan ACRL’s major program at the 2014 ALA Annual Conference. He will work with the ALA president and other division presidents representing ACRL both within and outside of ALA. From 2004 to 2013, Dawes was circula- tion services director at Princeton University Library. From 1999 to 2004, he was head of And the winners are . . .

Libraries are positioning themselves to be much more central to the key missions of higher educa- tion and are recognizing new roles across the spectrum of teaching, learning, and research. Success in the future will require radical col- laborations and defining different measures for demonstrating value. ACRL has done a superb job of identifying key issues for our collective focused attention and serves as a catalyst for action in a number of arenas. “I am tremendously excited to have this leadership role and the opportunity to help advance association initiatives that will ben- efit our members and their libraries.
