\nElizabeth Peimer currently serves as the Library Director\/Technical Program Manager of the Corporate Research and Information Center at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport. Ms. Peimer is the Navy environmental planning community’s subject matter expert for library and best available science research. Prior to 2012 Ms. Peimer was a contract task manager for Navy environmental planning activities, taught as an adjunct faculty member at the Community College of Rhode Island, held management positions in academia and non-profits, owned a web design business, and worked in the field of alternative dispute resolution.<\/p>\n
\nIn 2012, the command considered shuttering the library. Leadership accepted an eleventh hour proposal to incrementally transform services while cutting resources, and in less than five years the CRIC has become the most progressive Warfare Center library and a hub for innovation. Progress has been strategically incremental, both to overcome limited resources and to prevent service innovations from alienating our users. I will relay how this was accomplished, from early planning to execution, and the processes we put in place to identify and evolve services anticipation of our user\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s needs.<\/p>\n
