Strategic Planning for SALALM
The Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials (SALALM) seeks proposals from qualified consultants to lead the organization in a strategic planning process during the FY26 year (September 1, 2025-August 31, 2026). The purpose of this is to ensure that SALALM remains a viable and sustainable professional association meeting the current and future needs of library and archives professionals.
Our questions are:
– How might changes in higher education, as well as larger economic forces, shape SALALM’s future?
– How can SALALM skillfully orient itself towards digital collections and user services, while maintaining its traditional orientation towards print materials?
– In what ways has SALALM adapted (and might better adapt) to area studies growth into Latinx Studies and Iberian studies?
– How should the organization adapt in order to meet changing needs and circumstances?
– What changes, if any, in SALALM’s strategic direction should we pursue?
– Will we have the financial resources to meet our strategic goals?
