More Dynamic Leadership Library Makes Its Debut

Posted January 28, 2025 in Feature Friday, JMU Libraries News, Open Education News

The School of Strategic Leadership Studies (SSLS) has partnered with JMU Libraries to transform their Leadership Instruments Library (LIL) into a more accessible, user-friendly, and evolving resource for leadership scholars and researchers. Originally a collection of static PDFs, the LIL has been moved to Pressbooks—an open publishing platform—and the new format makes it easier for SSLS to update, refine, and expand their collection of measurement tools for research on leadership. 

This collaborative effort between SSLS and three Libraries faculty members—Brian Sullivan, Liz Thompson, and Mark Lane—ensures that scholars worldwide can easily find and use this open-access library of leadership instruments. Learn more.
