Description:
Geek
the Library, the public awareness campaign funded by the Gates Foundation and
managed by OCLC, is being conducted by 1,800+ public libraries across 48 states
through June 2015. In this webinar, we will hear from the evaluation team at
ORS Impact, who have been conducting assessments of the program and compiled
some remarkable data and stories from libraries who have completed their Geek
the Library campaigns. These mostly rural
libraries, serving very small to medium-sized communities, report improvements
in staff marketing and advocacy skills, have seen an increase in public support
for their libraries, as well as positive changes in funding resources. Geek the
Library has shifted how people think about their local library, has changed how
libraries interact with their community, and has been a game changer in a
number of local funding situations. We will also hear directly from some of
your library colleagues who have finished their Geek campaigns and who can talk
about how their library's relationship with the community has irrevocably
changed for the better. Whether or not you are a Geek library, we know you will
be inspired by these results!

“Value-Added Facilitation”
Date & Time: December 10th,
2014. Start
Time: Pacific - 12 Noon,
Mountain - 1 PM, Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM
Description:
As
library work becomes more team oriented and community focused, we find
ourselves participating in more meetings. The accepted wisdom is that
designating a facilitator will ensure that meeting time is well spent. Is that
true for your library? Even when someone is facilitating,
-
Do meetings tend to be all talk and no action?
-
Can a few outspoken participants dominate the conversation?
-
Does the group sometimes have trouble moving from brainstorming to
decision-making?
-
Does lack of information or disagreement about the facts impede progress?
-
Do the people with the ideas lack the authority to implement them?
-
Do long standing conflicts resurface so that nothing gets resolved?
Sound
familiar? It may be time to rethink your approach to meeting facilitation. In
this lively webinar, we will explore ways to reinvigorate the facilitator role
to add more value to the meeting process. You will learn skills that can
elevate facilitation beyond simply calling on meeting participants and
recording their comments. Our focus will be on active facilitation tips and
techniques, including how to:
-
Stay neutral on content while exerting leadership on process,
-
Frame questions and set expectations,
-
Analyze comments in real time and sort them for ease of comparison,
-
Identify and address gaps in the discussion,
-
Resolve conflicts and reach consensus, and
-
Create work products that allow ideas to move forward.
If
you are a member of the library community who is already – or might someday be
– called upon to act as a facilitator, this webinar will help you improve your
effectiveness, increase your value to your organization, and make more
productive use of meeting time.
This
webinar will be of interest to library staff at all levels, as well as library
friends, trustees, and commissioners.
Webinars
are free of charge; you can pre-register by clicking on the Register Now button
(at the top and bottom of this page). If registering with less than 30
MINUTES from the start of the webinar you can join directly from the thank you
page by clicking the Join Now button. If you
