Please share your experience at AAUP 2014 through our evaluation survey. Your responses help shape and inform planning for next year's AAUP Annual Meeting. The 2015 Program Committee will be chaired by John Sherer (North Carolina). We encourage you to complete your survey by July 22. 

If you attended the marketing analytics or journals pre-meeting workshops, the organizers have also put together evaluation surveys and would like to get feedback from attendees:

We are pleased to add Bob Oeste, Senior Programmer and Analyst at Johns Hopkins University Press, to the honor roll of AAUP Constituency Award winners. Bob is well known at the AAUP Annual Meetings for his popular and engaging presentations on what is not often considered a popular and engaging topic: metadata. This year was no different, when he served on two panels ("Metadata Standards" and "Data Management Systems"). Watch Bob's 2013 presentation, "Dude Where's My Metadata?," on Vimeo and read more here.

REIMAGINING THE AAUP 

On Tuesday, AAUP tapped the brainpower of our AAUP 2014 attendees in service of imagining futures for the association. In an interactive plenary session with an "AAUP Id(ea)l"-style of online and text voting that extended into over-lunch conversations, our presidents introduced the strategic plan the board has developed.  

The plan--covering our association mission, values, goals, and strategies--is available in a graphic presentation. 

AAUP 2014 attendees were asked to come up with tactics (actionable ideas) for fulfilling those strategic goals. Participants, energized with fruit provided by Books International, dreamed big and dreamed practical. All of the ideas that were shared, and people's initial reactions shared through voting, will help inform AAUP's next steps. Many thanks to Barbara Kline Pope, Meredith Babb, Philip Cercone, Peter Berkery, National Academies's Jeff Colosino, and the 52 table facilitators and microphone operators who helped to make that such a vibrant and effective session. Here's a quick view of the voting results.
