AAU and ARL: The Role of Partnerships and Collective Advocacy in Policy Development
Vaughn, John C.
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v9 n3 p397-404 Jul 2009
This paper briefly describes the structure of the national higher education association community, discusses the role of coalitions in collective advocacy, and reviews collaborations between the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) carried out during the tenure of ARL Executive Director Duane Webster. The AAU/ARL collaborations benefitted both associations and their members and were part of a larger set of partnerships and collaborations developed by Duane that expanded the reach and impact of ARL in both national and institutional policy development and implementation. (Contains 6 notes.)
