[OPLINLIST] ILEAD USA is Here!

Tue Oct 16 14:47:52 EDT 2012

Please excuse multiple postings...

It is official-the applications for all roles in ILEAD USA have been
posted on WebJunction at:  
http://www.webjunction.org/partners/illinois/il-programs/ileadusa/ilead-
usa-ohio.html.  

WHAT:

ILEAD USA is a program that teaches librarians to work with each other
using participatory and emerging technologies to solve a clear problem
in their community.  

WHO:

1.       We are looking for three different types of people to make
ILEAD USA a success:

a.     Team Members:  We are looking for 5 teams of 5 individuals to
make up the participants for the ILEAD USA 2013 program.  Teams are made
up of individuals who have identified a community problem and are
interested in learning how to use technology to solve that community
need.  You can review videos
<http://www.webjunction.org/partners/illinois/il-programs/ileadu-teams-y
ear2.html>  of team projects from iLEAD U (Illinois, 2011) to give you
an idea of previous projects.  Teams must be made up of individuals
representing at least two different library types and at least three
different libraries.  Teams must apply as a single entity.  This means
that you will need all five of your team members and a project idea
before submitting your application.  If you need assistance creating a
team or developing your idea, please contact Katie Campbell.
Individuals interested in becoming team members can attend an
informational webinar on October 24, 2012 at either 10:00 am
<http://www.library.ohio.gov/library-services/so-you-want-be-ilead-usa-t
eam-member>  or 3:00 pm
<http://www.library.ohio.gov/library-services/so-you-want-be-ilead-usa-t
eam-member-0> .  This webinar will be recorded if you are unable to
attend.  

b.     Mentors:  Each team will have a mentor to guide them through the
ILEAD USA program.  Mentors are individuals who are experienced in the
library world and who are able to act as a resource for their team
members. Individuals interested in becoming mentors can attend an
informational webinar on October 22, 2012 at either 10:00 am
<http://www.library.ohio.gov/library-services/so-you-want-be-ilead-usa-m
entor>  or 3:00 pm
<http://www.library.ohio.gov/library-services/so-you-want-be-ilead-usa-m
entor-0> .  This webinar will be recorded if you are unable to attend.  

c.     Instructors:  Instructors will lead sessions during the in-person
portion of the ILEAD USA program in March, June and October of 2013.
Instructors will be selected based on their skill and experience
teaching concepts and their experience integrating technology and
project management ideas in the library world.  Individuals interested
in becoming instructors can attend an informational webinar on October
25, 2012 at either 10:00 am
<http://www.library.ohio.gov/library-services/so-you-want-be-ilead-usa-i
nstructor>  or 3:00 pm
<http://www.library.ohio.gov/library-services/so-you-want-be-ilead-usa-i
nstructor-0> .  This webinar will be recorded if you are unable to
attend.  

WHEN:

iLEAD USA will be held March 26-28, June 18-20 and October 22-24 in
2013. Team members and mentors must commit to attending all three
sessions of ILEAD USA.  Your commitment also involves time devoted
between the three sessions to working on your project with your team.   

WHERE:

Deer Creek State Park <http://www.deercreekstateparklodge.com/>  in Mt.
Sterling, Ohio <http://goo.gl/maps/NtxAx> .  

HOW:

The only costs associated with ILEAD USA are the costs of your travel to
Mt. Sterling, Ohio.  The remainder of the costs of this program
(lodging, meals and materials) are covered by an Institute of Museum and
Library Services Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian grant.  

WHY:

Librarians have needs in their communities that can be solved by working
with other librarians and by utilizing technological advances.  ILEAD
USA is a program that helps librarians learn:

*        To identify those needs; 

*        To work with other librarians to solve community problems; and 

*        To use the participatory technology necessary to improve their
communities.

We will be hosting a National Day of Application on November 1, 2012
from 11:00-1:00 via Adobe Connect.  The National Day of Application will
be a chance for you to walk through the ILEAD USA applications and get
your questions answered.  Additional information about the National Day
of Application (including the link to the online meeting) will be
released soon.  

Contact Katie Campbell (Kcampbell at library.ohio.gov) at the State Library
of Ohio with any questions regarding ILEAD USA.  Applications are due no
later than December 14, 2012 at 5:00 pm.   Team members and mentors will
be announced January 25, 2013.  Instructors will be announced after the
curriculum for the ILEAD USA program has been finalized.  

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of
federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums.
Through grant making, policy development, and research, we help
communities and individuals thrive through broad public access to
knowledge, cultural heritage and lifelong learning. To learn more about
