The online form is available at http://www.txla.org/groups/talltex/apply.html. The Texas Accellerated Library Leaders Institute, better known as TALL Texans, is a week-long seminar on leadership for librarians. The program was founded in 1994 and now boasts over 380 graduates. The intended participants are mid-career librarians (at least 5 years experience in libraries) who have demonstrated initiative in starting new programs, expanding services, and overcoming challenges. The primary goal of the institute is to enhance leadership and management skills in participants in order to improve libraries, the librarian profession, and the community or campus served. The topics at the seminar include strategic and tactical planning, communication, collaboration, teambuilding, conflict resolution, power, and advocacy. The curriculum combines advanced theory for these topics as well as practical applications. The Institute has a web site, which mentions the above information but also gives a fuller description of the instructors and the facility: http://www.txla.org/groups/talltex/tallldi.html A selection committee will review the applications and pick 24 participants, with up to 5 alternates, in late February. Applicants will be informed of the decisions by March 1.
