Organizational Storytelling for Librarians: Using Stories for Leadership, Community, and Advocacy

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 ♦ 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ♦ 60 min 

Early Registration: https://oclc.webex.com/oclc/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=710379596

Join us for this webinar to learn about the process of leading and managing through organizational storytelling. Librarians can use personal stories within the organization for leadership (tell them who you are and why you are here), team building (sharing your vision effectively, rediscovering and honoring the mission of the organization), and moving through change (honoring the past as you move toward the future; listening to others, communicating your goals through story). Learn how to "retool" storytelling with new concepts of organizational storytelling gleaned from business and other sectors, with specific examples and powerful tools to improve library communication and advocacy. Also hear effective library stories and learn tactics shared by "story" expert Robert McKee <http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2008/07/robert-mckee-on-the-power-of-story.html>  who uses screenwriting methods to bring truth and tension to storytelling. In this webinar, co-sponsored by ALA TechSource and WebJunction, hear how libraries tell their story to strengthen organizations, build community and to amplify the value they bring to their communities. 

Presenters: Kate Marek, professor at Dominican University’s Graduate School of Library and Information Science, and author of Organizational Storytelling for Librarians <https://oclc.webex.com/ec0605ld/eventcenter/enroll/www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=3082>  (ALA, 2011); and Chris Rippel, head of continuing education, Central Kansas Library System.

Developing and Maintaining E-Reader Policies and Procedures for Libraries

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 ♦ 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ♦ 60 min

Early Registration: https://oclc.webex.com/oclc/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=717919875

As debates rage on about e-books, publishers and privacy, how are libraries approaching policies for managing e-readers? Join us for this webinar focused on the nuts and bolts of serving patrons with gadgets, including policies and procedures for libraries lending e-readers and for patrons using their own readers to access library e-book collections. Hear from a library who has e-reader policies and procedures in place, including how they review and update polices; and from a library who’s recently developed policies and procedures after researching and learning from many other libraries.

Presenters: David Newyear, adult information services manager, Mentor Public Library, Ohio; and Daniel Schwartz, library director, Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library, Kerrville, Texas.

This new curriculum centers on Windows® 7 and Windows Live™ Essentials and is based on extensive audience and instructional research about how less tech-savvy adults want to learn new computer skills. 

The webinar includes an overview of the research behind the program, workshops used to teach basic computer and photo-editing skills, resources offered, and feedback from libraries already offering the My PC Series workshops. The webinar will strive to help you understand how the My PC curriculum could be applied at your library or organization.
