Libraries' Strategic Plan: Catalyst | AY 23-24 Strategic Plan

Strategic Plan Overview

In AY24, the Libraries will continue working on the three goals developed in AY21, which have driven the work done over the past three years. Three action-oriented initiatives are aligned with these three goals.

Goal 1: Develop talent, resources, and experiences to facilitate community.

• Talent Management - Onboarding - Redevelop the Libraries’ onboarding process for new employees into a year-long experience that exemplifies the Libraries’ values, supports retention and engagement, and streamlines processes across departments and staff classifications.
  • Facilitators: Zac Grisham and Rich Wisneski
  • Workgroup Members: Mike Bomholt, Alea Henle, Megan Jaskowiak, and Lissa Martin
  • Action Plan

Goal 2: Forge meaningful partnerships that foster affordability, ensure relevancy, and cultivate life-long connections.

• External Funding - Increase external funding by 10% by engaging with partners: 1) University Advancement (UA) and the Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) to build resources that increase library staff and librarians’ capacity to pursue and obtain funding; 2) The ASPIRE office to submit a capital request for infrastructure enhancements.
  • Facilitator: Jason Ezell and Kevin Messner
  • Workgroup Members: Eric Harrelson, Roger Justus, Abi Morgan, and Sarah Nagle
  • Action Plan

Teams will continue to take intentional steps to align the work they are completing with MiamiRISE.
