The California State Library, in partnership with Infopeople, is pleased to offer an exciting new professional development initiative – the EUREKA! LEADERSHIP PROGRAM: Discover the Leader Within. This 4-phase program, which will take place over two years (July 2006-July 2008), includes a variety of approaches to leadership development, including

  1. Self-assessment,
  2. Skill-building,
  3. A multi-day intensive retreat, and
  4. Mentoring and project implementation.

The Eureka! Leadership Program has been designed for professional librarians with between three and ten years of professional library experience. It is open to those in library management positions who do not have an MLS. The Program is looking for library staff who exhibit leadership potential and are willing to share with others their enthusiasm, optimism, and vision for future library services. Phases 1 and 2 are open to all types of libraries; phases 3 and 4 are a pilot project for public libraries. Current plans are to repeat the latter 2 phases and open future rounds to all types of libraries.

Program Goals:

  • Develop a new generation of library leaders prepared to meet today's needs and tomorrow's challenges in order to provide the highest quality of library service to the people of California.
  • Retain staff currently working in the library and information management profession by reenergizing and developing new leadership skills.
  • Develop leaders who will have the skills to replace those who are retiring from the profession.
  • Foster diversity among library leaders.

The Eureka Wiki has been established to support the Eureka Leadership Program.
