摘要

ALA's newly elected president, John W. Berry, wants to spotlight three major focus areas during his presidential term, which begins July 2001 (AL, June/July, p. 8): equity of access, recruitment to the profession, and increasing member participation. In an interview with American Libraries, Berry said he is hoping to work with others in bridging the digital divide. "I would look at a collaborative effort with several partners, including the White House, the Department of Education, NCLISNational Commission on Libraries and Information Science , IMLS Institute of Museum and Library Services , and IFLA International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions , continuing former ALA President Barbara Ford's Global Reach, Local Touch initiative," which he said had resonance for him personally. Recruitment to the profession will have a significant focus on diversity within it. "Diversifying our member recruitment and professional recruitment to include and reflect the increasingly multicultural and diverse nature of our communities that libraries serve" is a priority, Berry believes. He also hopes to increase member participation via electronic means. "Of our nearly 60,000 members, we might have 15,000 to 20,000 attending our conferences. I want to try to reach out to those other grassroots members, because they have as much a need to be on the cutting edge as the members who are active and coming to conferences," Berry said. He envisions holding town meetings in libraries all over the country, using satellite and teleconferencing technologies as well as Internet conferencing. Berry has worked with these technologies: Since 1996, he has managed and directed NILRC, a consortium of 55 Midwest universities, colleges, and community colleges. The nonprofit corporation is a leader in the development and use of instructional resources and technologies, fostering satellite teleconferencing.

Berry在2001年7月开始的总统任期内要重点关注三个主要领域（AL，6月/ 7月，第8页）：机会公平，专业招聘和成员增加参与。贝里在接受美国图书馆采访时说，他希望与其他人一起弥合数字鸿沟。 “我希望与几个合作伙伴共同努力，包括白宫，教育部，NCLISN图书馆与信息科学委员会，IMLS博物馆和图书馆服务研究所以及IFLA国际图书馆协会联合会， ALA主席芭芭拉·福特（Barbara Ford）的“全球影响力，本地接触”计划，”他说。招聘该专业将极大地关注其内部的多样性。贝里认为，“使我们的会员招募和专业招募多样化，以包括和反映图书馆服务的社区日益多元的文化和多样化的本质”是当务之急。他还希望通过电子方式增加会员的参与度。 “在我们将近60,000名成员中，我们可能有15,000至20,000名成员参加我们的会议。我想尝试与其他基层成员保持联系，因为与活跃的成员一样，他们同样需要处于最前沿。参加会议。”贝里说。他设想使用卫星和电话会议技术以及互联网会议在全国各地的图书馆举行城镇会议。贝瑞一直致力于这些技术的研究：自1996年以来，他负责管理和指导NILRC，该协会由55个中西部大学，学院和社区学院组成。这家非营利性公司是开发和使用教学资源和技术，促进卫星电话会议的领导者。
