NEW: Member Only Content Area on Web Site

Please note, some content on the PALCI site has now moved to a members-only area.  In the lower left corner of the site you will see a place where you can create/request an account.  It is a two-step process.  Once you create your account, PALCI's web administrator will grant you permissions to see member-only content, so there may be a slight delay between the time you create your account and your ability to have access to the content.  

We're very excited to have this new space for content.  You'll find the full contact sheet for member institutions, board minutes, etc.  If you have questions about this, please email Cathy Wilt, Executive Director of PALCI at wilt@palci.org.

New Executive Director for PALCI

The PALCI Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of Catherine Chesser Wilt as Executive Director of PALCI, Inc. Cathy will begin her work in the new PALCI office at 100 N. 20th St., Suite 302, Philadelphia, PA 19103 on July 1, 2011.

As most of you know, Cathy has extensive consortial experience, having served as President of Lyrasis and Executive Director/CEO of PALINET from 2002 through 2010.  She also was Director of Member Support and Education Services at Amigos and Executive Coordinator of RONDAC.  Cathy has also worked in two PALCI member libraries:  Drexel University and Ursinus College. 

Cathy's knowledge of the academic library consortium environment, consortium management expertise, and strategic vision for future possibilities will serve PALCI well.  The Board found both energy and synergy, as well as pragmatism, in her views of a newly reorganized PALCI.

Cathy will be with us for our June 2 meeting in Harrisburg when we will celebrate PALCI's 15th anniversary. Please join us in welcoming Cathy as PALCI's new Executive Director.
