Welcome to Taiga

The Taiga Forum is a community of AULs and ADs challenging the traditional
boundaries in libraries. The Taiga Forum meets annually.

Please join the Taiga Forum on Friday, January 20, 2012, 2pm-4pm at the Dallas Convention Center room C-149. We will discuss Taiga's future, framed around the following questions:

1. From Taiga's beginning in 2006, our purpose has been to challenge the traditional boundaries in libraries. Is this still relevant? Should we reframe our discussions to ensure that we look at the strategic directions and change within higher education, rather than focusing on our operational challenges? Is developing provocative statements still useful?

2. We have held an annual in-person meeting. Is this still relevant? Should it occur annually? Would it be useful to create more of an online community to enhance and/or replace the in-person meeting? Should we envision a different kind of event?

3. We are currently in an affiliation with CLIR and the DLF Forum (held annually in the fall). How well is this affiliation working? Are there others with whom Taiga should consider affiliating and/or collocating?
