Indiana University IUPUI (Indiana University, School of Library & Information Science at Indianapolis)

The Indiana University School of Library & Information Science at Indianapolis (SLIS) is partnering with the Indiana Library Federation (ILF) and Indiana State Library (ISL) to develop the Career Transitions Executive Leadership Program (CTELP). CTELP is designed to build capacity for identifying, recruiting, educating, and mentoring the next generation of library managers and leaders. It seeks to address the profession’s need for highly qualified new MLS graduates who have the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to assume management and leadership roles in libraries and information centers. Through their engagement with professional mentors, on-site library residencies, projects, and coursework, CTELP students will gain experience and insights into the challenges of leading a complex information organization.
