Description: In the Chronicle of Higher Education, poet and University of Pennsylvania professor Kenneth Goldsmith asks "Who hasn't been moved by a great memoir?" as he contemplates the future of writing in a digital age. The unspoken answer to his question-few-suggests that the moving, complicated, personal stories found in memoirs, biographies, and autobiographies aren't going anywhere.
As we head into winter (a perfect time to curl up with a blanket and a book), take a look at some of the new and forthcoming titles from our featured publishers. Who knows, you may find the perfect memoir for a snowy day or the biography you know a patron, or even your mom, would love for the holidays. There's a story for everyone.

"OCLC Research to Host Seeking Synchronicity Webinar "
Date & time: Tuesday, 15 November 2011 at 2 PM EST (UTC 19:00)
Duration: 1 hour
Description: Attend this webinar to learn about our research findings that will inform future development and inspire effectiveness for virtual reference services.
In this webinar, Lynn Silipigni Connaway, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist at OCLC, and Marie L. Radford, Ph.D., Associate Professor, School of Communication & Information, Rutgers, will discuss the key findings of their multi-year study that were recently published in the report, Seeking Synchronicity: Revelations and Recommendations for Virtual Reference.
These findings indicate that today's students, scholars and citizens are not just looking to libraries for answers to specific questions—they want partners and guides in a life long information-seeking journey. By transforming virtual reference (VR) services into relationship-building opportunities, libraries can leverage the positive feelings people have for libraries in a crowded online space where the biggest players often don't have the unique experience and specific strengths that librarians offer.
Specific details that Connaway and Radford will discuss in the webinar include:
• The exaggerated death of ready reference
• The importance of query clarification in VR
• Ways to boost accuracy and build better interpersonal relationships in VR
• What can be learned from VR transcripts
• How convenience is the "hook" that draws users into VR services
• Generational differences in how people perceive reference interactions and determine success
• The need for more and better marketing

Libraries and Economic Recovery: Supporting Entrepreneurs
Date & time: Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Pacific - 12 PM, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM
Pacific - 12 PM, Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM
Description: Times are tough, unemployment is up, and libraries have responded by expanding services to people who are looking for jobs. But how about addressing the needs of people who are creating jobs? Entrepreneurs, especially the “new creatives” – designers, chefs, writers, landscapers, crafters, techies, and other imaginative problem-solvers – are expected to play a leading role in the economic recovery.
Some people know from the outset that they want to start their own businesses. Others are “accidental” entrepreneurs, looking to self-employment when a traditional job proves hard to find. Either way, prospective entrepreneurs often lack the specific skills, tools, and other resources necessary for success.
Consultants George Needham and Joan Frye Williams will describe what these job-creators need and how innovative libraries are leveraging existing assets to accommodate them. You’ll learn how you can
· Arrange workspaces for business creativity and collaboration,
· Provide opportunities for independent entrepreneurs to join forces and build community,
· Offer the technologies most valued by entrepreneurs,
· Partner with other organizations to host high-appeal programs, and
· Repackage reference services to appeal to this audience.
If you're an optimistic staff member or trustee who seeks to strengthen your community, help generate more tax revenue, and forge new partnerships with emerging economic movers and shakers, this webinar is for you. And if you're a pessimist who expects things to get worse, we recommend that you log in anyway, to find out what you can do to avoid becoming an accidental entrepreneur yourself!
Webinars are free of charge and registration is only done on the day of the event on the WebEx server. No passwords are required.
Registration: Do you require an accommodation for an Infopeople webinar? For this service, please complete and submit a request form at least 72 hours before the webinar: http://infopeople.org/webinars/closedcaptioning

This first in a series of four webinars will present basic concepts and approaches to dealing with crucial digital preservation issues today and make decisions that will position you for success in the future.

· Are you a leader who is foreseeing the ‘brain drain’ that will occur when the wave of Baby Boomer retirements is being fully felt? What will happen when all that organizational knowledge walks out the door? And what will happen when you leave?
Whether you are a senior leader in your organization or you have a job with some unique responsibilities at any level, you may be thinking about what it will take to replace your knowledge, skills, and wisdom. And if you’re not thinking about it, you should be! The wave of Baby Boomer retirements is beginning, and those employees who know why things work as well as the way things work will be leaving our libraries. How can we make sure we know the important things they’ve learned over the years?
After this webinar, participants will be able to identify:
· Two kinds of organizational knowledge and why each is important
· Strategies their organizations can use to facilitate knowledge transfer
· A strategy they can use personally to ensure that their critical knowledge is available to others
This webinar will be of interest to anyone who is thinking about retirement, or who may actively be seeking other employment. Co-workers of those who are planning to leave will be interested, too. The webinar may be of special interest to those who manage and train staff.
