OLSSI 2022 Classes & Instructors



Chair’s Class: Program Planning on a Budget – Jennifer Hicks, Circulation and Reserves Supervisor & OLSSI Chair, Miami University at Middletown

There is a lot to consider when planning library programs. There is even more to consider when working with limited funds. This class will provide guidance for designing budget-friendly programs.


Appreciative Inquiry – Michelle Bradley, Director of Consulting Services, OhioNet

Library staff know the value of professional development to personal learning, libraries, and those we serve. With all the options out there, it is important to invest your time and money into meaningful learning opportunities. In this session, learn how to fire up your learning, and make learning more impactful.


Crowdsourcing Your Library Problems – Michelle Graff, Reference Librarian, and Erin Waltz, Library Public Services Manager, Supreme Court of Ohio Law Library

Library colleagues can be indispensable for listening to challenges, offering new viewpoints, and sharing experiences. This session will demonstrate the value of connecting with colleagues (in & outside your library) to problem solve.


Effects of Genre Labels – Misty Alvaro, Materials Manager, Columbus Metropolitan Library

Does your library use genre labels? In this class, learn about the benefits and (perhaps unintended) consequences of genre labeling.


Genealogy – Peter Thayer, Assistant Professor, Marietta College

Getting started on genealogy work can be overwhelming. This session will demonstrate basic searches in key genealogy websites, and provide guidance for using other resources to help your searches.


High School Yearbook Digitization – Sara Nagai, Digital Archives Coordinator (Upper Arlington Public Library), and Meredith Southard, Librarian (Worthington Libraries)

Thinking of digitizing your local high school yearbook collection?  These high-demand items can bring significant attention to your local history website, but the digitization process presents unique challenges.  Sara and Meredith will discuss their experiences with outsourcing, quality control, and community response and outreach.


INFOhio: Resources and Services – INFOhio

INFOhio supports student learning by providing access to valuable digital resources for every student, educator, and parent in Ohio. These resources can be used in schools, in public libraries, and at home. This class will share some of the services and resources available to students, families, and teachers.


Licking County Veteran History – Doug Stout, Veterans Project Coordinator, Licking County Library

In our changing times, libraries continue to look for new ways to connect with their communities. Beginning a veteran’s project is a way to do just that. Veterans are a diverse part of the population that encompass all races, genders, and social status so a veteran’s program allows your library to reach a large part of the people in your community. This program will highlight some of the successes the Licking County Library has had with their program, and show some tools, tips, and tricks if your library wants to bring this rewarding project to your community.


Message Dissemination During a Crisis – Gregg Dodd, Director of Marketing, Columbus Metropolitan Library

The pandemic has emphasized the need for clear and timely communication. In this class, learn about the importance of developing plans and strategies to effectively implement & navigate in times of emergency.


Nutrition Programs in Libraries – Janet Ingraham-Dwyer, Library Consultant, State Library of Ohio

Food insecurity and economic uncertainty impact communities across Ohio. Your library can help! After all, it’s a trusted, accessible, stigma-free community center which is already famous for giving stuff out for free. No wonder an ever-increasing number of libraries are getting involved in direct food distribution on campus or in town, summer and afterschool meals, cooking and nutrition programs, seed libraries and community gardens, outreach, partnerships, and more. Join this class to learn how libraries feed hungry bodies as well as hungry minds.


StoryWalk – Annamarie Carlson, Youth Services Manager, Upper Arlington Public Library

StoryWalks display picture books on trails, in parks, and outside the physical library so patrons can enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Annamarie will share her experiences with logistics for StoryWalk, creating library programs that incorporate StoryWalk, and successes/challenges for other libraries thinking of adding a StoryWalk.


Voicecorps: Reading Service for the Blind – David Noble, Director of Marketing and Development

Voicecorps provides reading services of printed content and materials to people who are blind, have low vision, or are unable to read print. In this class, learn about this enriching service and other reading services available in Ohio.


Roundtable: Circulation and Public Services

This roundtable is focused on circulation and public services topics, but everyone is welcome to attend even if you work in another area. Conversation will be determined by participants, but may include topics like reference work, interlibrary loan, circulation, cargo, adult services, youth services, outreach, and more!


Roundtable: Digital Services and E-Resources

This roundtable is focused on digital services and e-resources topics, but everyone is welcome to attend even if you work in another area. Conversation will be determined by participants, but may include topics like digitization, streaming resources, e-books, e-audiobooks, archiving, repositories, and more!


Roundtable: Technical Services

This roundtable is focused on technical services topics, but everyone is welcome to attend. Conversation will be determined by participants, but may include topics like acquisitions, cataloging, collection management, preservation, bindery, and more!


Library Snapshot: Walter Havighurst Special Collections and University Archives – Rachel Makarowski, Special Collections Librarian, Miami University

Join Rachel for an overview of the Walter Havighurst Special Collections and University Archives to learn about rare books, manuscripts, and special subject collections that call this library home.


Tai Chi – Jim and Linda O’Brien, certified Tai Chi Instructors

Looking for relaxation, meditation, and self-care?  Try Tai Chi.  Tai Chi can improve muscle strength, flexibility, fitness, posture, and balance through gentle exercises and stretches.


Keynote Speaker – Shawn Beem, Assistant Dean, Capital University Law School

Shawn is a wonderful supporter of OLSSI.  He has presented at OLSSI multiple times and he always receives positive feedback.  We look forward to welcoming him as our keynote speaker this year.  Even though we would all like to imagine a world post-COVID, the reality in our world is still very much impacted by the pandemic.  Libraries and library staff have adapted as a result of the pandemic.  What is the future of libraries?
