Beginnings
Some 65 representatives from academic and research libraries from the United States and Canada attended the "More than Books: Building a Network of Academic and Research Library Development Officers" Conference hosted by the University of New Mexico Libraries held March 15-17, 1995. Organized by the University of New Mexico, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University, this meeting was designed to explore issues of interest to professionals in the area of library development. By overwhelming consensus, the group decided to form a continental network, the Academic Library Advancement and Development Network. Known as ALADN, the group is designed to offer networking and mutual problem-solving for professionals involved in advancement and development for academic and research libraries through annual conference, electronic listserv participation (LIBDEV sponsored by ALADN), and personal contacts.
