Greetings, friends!

 

Take a look at these upcoming workshops at OHIONET!

 

The McDreamy OPAC: Creating a Vision for Next Generation Search Tools

OPACs sure have changed since the days of the card file.... and boy do they
have a long way to go to meet existing customer expectations! Explore the
current landscape of library search tools from OPACs to federated searches
to newer discovery platforms. Take a hands-on tour of trends from
non-library search tools. Learn strategies on how to form an evolving vision
for your future OPAC, as well as tips for negotiating future development
with vendors. This workshop has been NEWLY-EXPANDED to a full day to
accommodate more "hands-on" activities and information about vendor
relationships.

Taking ILL to the Next Level **RESCHEDULED DATE**

Is your Interlibrary Loan process in need of an overhaul? Are there some
aspects that could be improved? This NEWLY-EXPANDED full-day workshop will
help get you started. We will go beyond the daily processing of ILL requests
and look at some of the tools that staff can use, talk about allowing users
to place their own ILL requests (FirstSearch account is required), clear up
confusion about IFM (Interlibrary Loan Fee Management) and interpret
borrowing and lending reports that provide a wealth of data about your
library.

Wink and More! Using Free Software for Library Instruction

During this hands-on workshop, participants will be given an overview of
Wink, a free tutorial and presentation software that can be used for library
instruction. This software can be used to create a Flash presentation that
can be linked to any web page. Participants will then have the opportunity
to create their own 3-5 minute tutorial.

using OCLC WorldCat Resource Sharing and Odyssey for document delivery.
