    Project Management for Solo Librarians: Part I - Mastering the
    Project Map
    Solo Management and Leadership - An Interactive Videoconference
    <http://www.swonlibraries.org/viewevent?id=834>

In the first segment, we will investigate the project map and learn how 
to apply the skills of the manager (pausing, planning, communicating) 
and the leader (risking, anticipating, influencing) to improve 
productivity, not just the skills of the task-oriented professional 
(reacting, focusing, self-governing).

This presentation is for those who work alone, who have multiple 
supervisors, or who are looking for ways to improve the productivity 
when staff is cut and budgets collapse. It is also useful for frontline 
supervisors who want to improve workplace performance. It is designed 
for people with at least two years' of workplace experience and would be 
considered for an intermediate class.

Co-Sponsored by the Cincinnati Chapter of the Special Libraries 
Association <http://units.sla.org/chapter/ccin/index.asp>

Pat Wagner, of Pattern Research <http://www.pattern.com/>, will teach

      Description

This two-part seminar series addresses making hard choices, mastering 
the project map, creating a working strategic plan for special and 
ongoing projects, communicating expectations and negotiating the ratios 
among cost, time and quality with multiple customers. These seminars are 
designed to complement one another. You may register for either Part I 
or Part II to suit your interest and skill level; however, taking Part I 
will help you get more out of Part II.

*Critical Learning Questions*
- What do we have to give up in order to stay relevant to our customers' 
changing needs?
- What will keep us anchored to our goals on a busy day despite 
interruptions and conflicting demands?
- Which better project management practices can we apply immediately, 
even when we don't have enough time, money or staff to do what we think 
is right?
