[OPLINLIST] Announcing the ILEAD USA – Ohio 2017 Participants

Wed Feb 15 14:56:26 EST 2017

Please excuse multiple postings.

The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the 2017 participants in ILEAD USA – Ohio<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/training-and-professional-development/ilead-usa-ohio/>. Teams, mentors, and instructors from Ohio have been selected for the year-long program. ILEAD USA is a multi-state program designed to help library staff understand and respond to user needs through the application of participatory technology tools, all while developing their own library leadership skills.  Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are also participating in this national initiative.

Sessions kick off in March and reconvene in June and October at Mohican State Park & Lodge in Perrysville, Ohio. These three in-person sessions will allow participants to hone their skills, experiment with participatory technology tools and continue communications with their ILEAD USA – Ohio cohorts.

Team participants will remain with their group throughout the program and are assigned a mentor. The role of the mentor is to keep participants motivated; offer expertise; and provide guidance and advice. Each team will work on a single group project that will address at least one identified need within their communities of users.

ILEAD USA – Ohio is made possible by the State Library of Ohio with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, with additional support from the Kent State University School of Library and Information Science.
