Self-Directed
Achievement: if you give library staff an hour
Date
& Time: 07 February 2013,
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time [UTC -5]
Description:
"Set one training goal each week achievable in one
hour." This simple directive was given to every staff member of one Utah
library in September 2011. The result just one year later? A sustainable,
positive culture transformation. The mechanism, called “Self-Directed
Achievement,” is a consistent, agile, individualized approach to staff
development in a climate of constant change. It champions the basic library
principle of lifelong learning. It is achievable for every individual with any
level of expertise. And its impact will ripple through your organization from
the staff work room to public lounge areas. Following this webinar, you will
understand the model, mechanics, individual accountability, and supervisory
responsibility involved in this remarkable method...and you’ll want to do it
too.
Presenters:
From
Tooele City
Library
(UT), Jami Carter, Director; Steve Peay,
Library Supervisor; and Rachel Gull, Library Supervisor.
How
Libraries can meet the Evolving Needs of Patrons in the Digital Age
Date
& Time: 13 February 2013,
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time [UTC -5]
Description:
Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew
Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project,
will be joined by digital and library experts to discuss the findings of the
Project’s most recent report, Library
Services in the Digital Age, which asked a representative sample
of Americans what types of services they value in their library and what types
of services they would like to see their library start to offer. These findings
are critical to informing the conversation on how to advance change in
libraries in order to keep them relevant and responsive to communities in our
increasingly digital age.
The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan, nonprofit "fact tank" that
provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and
the world. With support from the Bill
& Melinda Gates Foundation, the Pew Internet &
American Life Project is conducting research that explores how people get and
share information in the digital age and what that means for the role of
libraries in their communities. The research looks at different demographic
patterns of technology and library use.
Presenter:
Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research
Center’s Internet & American Life Project and other digital and library
experts.

OCLC
Webinar
Are
We Reconfigured Yet? US Research Libraries - Priorities, Trends, Directions
Date
& Time: 14 February 2013, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern Standard
Time [UTC -5]
Description: In this
webinar, OCLC Research Library Partnership Vice President Jim Michalko
will share a synthesis of the priorities and trends
affecting US research libraries in the twenty-first century, the directions
they are taking, and the ways in which OCLC Research seeks to respond to these
concerns and advance the desired directions. This synthesis is based on a
series of interviews that Jim conducted with the senior staff at more than 65 OCLC Research Library
Partner institutions, as well as surveys by OCLC staff and
visits to institutions by OCLC field staff. Jim observed a surprisingly strong
convergence of concern around a small number of issues despite differences in
library size, constituencies, funding and geography. This suggests that a new
pattern of investment has begun that will result in a new portfolio of library
services. The exact service offerings vary from institution to institution as
they take shape through close attention to and engagement with the local institutional
mission and the needs of the local constituency.
OCLC Research Library
Partners are invited to register* to join us for 60 minutes of presentation and
discussion in this free webinar. Partners are also welcome to suggest specific
areas in which OCLC Research could usefully
devote effort to this shared problem space.
A recording of this webinar will be made publicly
available on our website, on YouTube and in iTunes in March.

Building
a Research Commons in a University Library: Connecting Scholars with
Technology, Expertise, and Each Other
Date
& Time: February 13, 2013, 2:00pm to 3:00pm Eastern
Time
Description:
Emory’s Robert W. Woodruff Library opened
the Research Commons in the Fall of 2011. The 5,000 square foot space is
dedicated to graduate students and faculty who are engaged in collaborative
scholarly work which takes advantage of digital technology. This presentation
will focus on the mission, the space, and the way the Research Commons takes
advantage of its place in the library: the Research Commons provides neutral
space where interdisciplinary groups of scholars can work collaboratively.
Almost all of the furniture is mobile, enabling users to configure the work
areas to suit their needs. This open design also allows scholars to see what
others are working on and to be inspired by what they see. These unplanned and
serendipitous encounters, along with more formal events, allow the Research
Commons to establish and nurture an interdisciplinary community of scholars
interested in digital scholarship. Housed within the Research Commons is the
Mellon Funded Digital Scholarship Commons (DiSC). The mission of DiSC is to
work with scholars whether they require instruction on simple tools or need
help planning and executing a larger project.
Presenter:
Stewart Varner, he is the Digital Scholarship Coordinator at Emory
University's Robert W. Woodruff Library. He manages the team of the Digital
Scholarship Commons who help scholars incorporate technology and library
resources into their research. Stewart earned his Ph.D. in Americna Studies at
Emory and his MLIS degree from the University of North Texas.

Designing
Interactive Library Spaces
Date
& Time: February 13, 2013, 3:15pm to 4:15pm Eastern Time
Description:
What does it mean to Evolve? Why do
Libraries need to Evolve? Through this webinar, Dave Hesse and Brian Pichman of
the Evolve Project will discuss the importance of redesigning library spaces to
make them more interactive and collaborative. The Evolve Project is a
collaborative platform that aims to change the way people see libraries through
the injection of technology that fosters collaboration and exploration. These
technologies include laser tag, Sphero Balls, Sifteo Cubes, interactive Legos,
and so much more! Learn techniques for how to innovate. In today's times,
libraries must become the frontier for interaction and engagement while
enhancing their environments to include new technology, open spaces, and unique
programs to pull in patrons.
Presenters:
Brian Pichman and Dave Hesse are both passionate about
libraries and were formerly employed for 8 years to a small rural public
library before branching out to help other libraries world wide. They now run
the Evolve Project, an initiative to get libraries into the 21st century and
beyond.
