As collections migrate to electronic format, libraries that want to stay relevant for their users have begun to develop a variety of new service offerings, raising the question of how they can best support teaching, learning, and research in this new environment. A re-evaluation of service offerings provides several important opportunities, especially for academic libraries - reintegrating the sciences into service offerings; taking a more active role in undergraduate education; and engaging more directly with the rapidly changing needs of faculty members. This preconference will explore some of the services that academic libraries have developed in recent years.

We will focus on such services as data curation and preservation, instructional support, and mapping services (intentionally ignoring "movement" services such as institutional repositories). We will spend the morning hearing about the substance of new services that are being offered. In the afternoon, our presenters will assemble as a series of panels to discuss how their services were developed, some of the barriers they encountered and overcame, and some of the leadership and management lessons that emerge from their experiences.

This preconference is intended for librarians who recognize the importance of developing new services and are prepared to act now or in the near future.
