[OPLINLIST] Collaboration Connection: A Mixer for All Types of Libraries

[Melissa Lattanzi]

Event Name:

Collaboration Connection: A Mixer for All Types of Libraries

Competency:

Collaboration

Description:

Are you waiting for a collaborator in order to get your great idea off the ground or to apply for a grant?  Are you at a university or community college library that would like to work with a special library?  A public library that would like to work with a university or community college library?  A school library that would like to work with the public library?  Or, any of the other possible combinations for collaboration? Do you have services, collections, skills, etc. that you or your organization could offer to potential collaborators?

How do unrelated organizations seeking a collaborative partnership make a case for funding, what are the logistics of such partnerships, and how does each entity benefit?  Join us for this opportunity to find the collaboration partner you are looking for.  Facilitators Kieth Peppers and Wendy Wasman have successfully collaborated on a grant-funded project to digitize an archival collection and create science-based curriculum for Middle schoolers.  They will open the workshop by focusing on collaboration case studies and will then lead attendees through "Collaboration Connection," an interactive process designed to help you find the collaborator that you need, right in this very workshop.

Presenters:
Kieth A. Peppers, University Archivist, Instructor, Baldwin Wallace University
Kieth A. Peppers received his education at Cleveland State University where he achieved a Master of History and Museum Studies summa cum laude. He is the co-founder and CEO of Pursue Posterity, an organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of all history. He is concurrently employed with Baldwin Wallace University as the archivist, historian, and faculty, where he teaches classes in Public History, curates exhibits, writes grants, and collaborates with external institutions. During the development of his vocation, Kieth worked with a variety of museums, archives, special collections, and libraries across northeast Ohio on numerous projects from publishing corporate histories to cataloguing and photographing museum collections.

Wendy Wasman, Librarian and Archivist, Cleveland Museum of Natural History
Wendy Wasman has a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology from Oberlin College. She received her Master's in Library Science (MLS) from Kent State University in 1988. Wendy was the Librarian at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History from 1988 until her move to Philadelphia in 1994, where she served as the Science Librarian at Haverford College. She returned to Cleveland in 2000 and rejoined the Museum as Librarian in 2008. In 2012, she assumed responsibility for the Museum Archives. As the Librarian and Archivist, Wendy oversees the 50,000-volume research library, curates the 1,000-volume rare book collection, maintains the special collections, and manages records retention for the Museum. Wearing four different hats is sometimes challenging, but Wendy loves that she can learn something new every single day.

Light refreshments will be provided.
