摘要

Stephen Abram-the well-known library pundit and occasional lightning rod for debate-has left his position as VP of innovation for the integrated library system (ILS) vendor SirsiDynix. On January 1, he took up a new position at Gale, part of Cengage Learning, as VP of strategic partnerships and markets. Describing himself as a "change agent," Abram told LI that part of the task in his new role would be to help Gale transform itself from being known as publisher of directories and databases to a company rnknown for facilitating community experiences. "That's the next stage: product engagement," Abram said.
