Registration is open for the following NORWELD workshops:

CATALOGING VIDEOS/DVDs, Sept. 14 w/Carol Bradsher

http://www.norweld.lib.oh.us/calendar/description.asp?ID=271

Participants attending this workshop will learn how to create a
bibliographic                        description for a video (VHS or DVD)
and code the information into MARC format.                         Topics
covered include the chief source of information for a video, determining
who                        goes into the statement of responsibility,
identifying the publication date, providing                        access
to actors/actresses associated with a video, and describing the physical
format,                        including the 007 field of the MARC record.
Participants are encouraged to bring                        examples for
practice. 

AGE MATTERS: GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE WORKPLACE, Sept. 16 w/Mary
Merrill and Jane Federer.

http://www.norweld.lib.oh.us/calendar/description.asp?ID=269

Today's workplace is comprised of employees from three, and sometimes even
                   four, distinct generations: Veterans, Boomers, Xers, and
Nexters. The time              during which we were raised shapes our view
of roles, relationships, learning, and                        success.
These different generational views are played out in the workplace and
often                        lead to increased tension. This session will
incorporate participant experiences with the latest research on this
emerging issue, leading to new perspectives and ideas for
     working more cooperatively. 

AGE Matters is an interactive training that encourages and facilitates
intergenerational                       discussions regarding workplace
values/practices and related tensions that                        often
arises between generations. The acronym AGE stands for: acknowledge
               differences, generate options (for improved relations), and
establish models (for working productively). 

In their work with a wide range of organizations Mary Merrill and Jane
Federer,                       independent consultants and trainers,
witnessed a growing level of generational                        tensions
in the workplace. Comments such as "young people today have no work ethic"
or "everyone seems okay with our new direction except the old folks" were
                     becoming commonplace.

Older adults are living historians. There is so much to learn if only
someone will listen                        . . . if only someone will ask.
Bring back old memories and create new ones with
Bi-Folkal program kits.  Remembeirng any time or topic is easier when you
can see pictures of your memories, or touch or hear or smell them.  When
memories are shared in a group, each person's experiences can add to a
deeper understanding of our past and perhaps our future. Multi-sensory
Bi-Folkal kits focus on themes including school days, railroads, fashion,
pets, automobiles, and the decades of the past century.
