Constance Malpas of OCLC to speak at SCELCapalooza 2026 Symposium

Constance Malpas of OCLC to speak at SCELCapalooza 2026 Symposium. by M Ryan Hess on February 5th, 2026 | 0 Comments Constance Malpas of OCLC will deliver a talk at SCELCapalooza 2026 Symposium entitled " Leading Beyond the Library: Communicating Academic Library Value to Campus Decision-Makers." Her talk will introduce the Library Beyond the Library framework as a leadership tool for repositioning the academic library within the broader university enterprise. The framework emphasizes three mutually reinforcing strategies: aligning library priorities with institutional goals, building visible partnerships beyond the library, and intentionally shaping how library contributions are understood by senior decision-makers. Constance Malpas is Executive Director of Research and Programming at OCLC, where she leads research, analysis, and community engagement initiatives focused on the evolving role(s) of libraries in advancing higher education and community well-being. Her work explores how academic and research libraries align services, partnerships, and infrastructure with institutional priorities, and how libraries can more effectively articulate their value and impact to campus and community stakeholders. Constance has been a principal investigator or senior contributor on numerous OCLC Research programs examining library collections, discovery, research support services, and organizational strategy. Her research emphasizes evidence-based decision-making, systems thinking, and the translation of research insights into practical strategies that library leaders can apply within diverse institutional contexts.
