Greetings, friends!

 

Take a look at these upcoming workshops from OHIONET!

 

Google's Hidden Library: Introducing Google's Full-Text Resources For Your
Patrons!

While it's easy to appreciate Google's search superiority for any number of
basic topics, you might not be aware of the available full-text magazines,
books, and newspapers offered as well. Searchable, printable and even
readable, these resources are growing every day and are yours for the
taking! Feeling adventuresome? Take the advanced plunge and incorporate
these in your own local library catalog or web site with the API
(Application Programming Interface)! In this class we will explore all of
these options as well as give you hands-on time to create, explore, and
maintain your own resources! Don't miss it!

Managing Student Assistants in Academic Libraries

Today's academic libraries depend heavily on qualified student employees to
provide staffing, service, and support for their entire patron community -
faculty, staff, and students. Through discussion, examples, and exercises,
this full-day class will consider methods for interviewing, hiring,
training, scheduling, evaluating, supervising, and retaining superior
student workers in academic library environments.

Fundamentals of Cataloging: Subject Analysis

NEW curriculum and NEW instructor for 2009! The Fundamentals of Cataloging
series covers the basics of cataloging in five sessions. Attend all the
sessions or only the ones of interest. In this HANDS-ON session, we will
cover the theories behind the subject heading schemes used by most academic
and public libraries and analyze those theories. Participants will learn how
important subject headings are when used for organization of and access to
materials through classroom exercises.

People are talking about you, but do you know what they are saying?-ONLINE
COURSE

You may have spent a lot of money or time on marketing your library, only to
have your library's reputation severely damaged by one angry blogger. How
can you track this kind of activity, and how can you mitigate negative
commentary? Learn what tools are available to help monitor your library's
precious online reputation and some strategies to protect your library's
brand.
