Searching for Hidden Treasures”

2014. Start Time: Pacific - 12 Noon, Mountain - 1 PM,
Central - 2 PM, Eastern - 3 PM.
Description: Health
Information questions come in a whole range of complexity, from simple requests
for a spelling of a medical term to complex requests from someone facing a
serious illness.
*
Do you feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of resources that might answer the
patron’s question?
*
Do you feel confident that you can point the patron to the best resource based
on their reading ability or language preference?
*
Do you ever hesitate to recommend a site because you don’t have the time to
properly evaluate the content for accuracy?
*
Wouldn't it be great if there were one health information site that combined
only the best resources as a trustworthy starting point for just about any
scenario?
Lucky for us, MedlinePlus is such a
site! This scenario-based training webinar will present a spectrum of sample
health reference questions, from simple to more complex examples. The path to
the answer or the perfect resource will demonstrate different search techniques
for each question. The instructor will also show how to take searches beyond
MedlinePlus for users who need information at a higher level. By the time you
finish watching the webinar, you will have several new tricks up your sleeve!
At the end of this one-hour webinar,
participants will:
*
Understand of the spectrum of health reference questions that can be answered
with MedlinePlus searches
*
Be aware of the extensive content in MedlinePlus beyond the basic disease and
drug information

WebJunction Webinars
“Top Ten Skills for Teaching
Tech to Patrons”
Date & Time: 14 August 2014. 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time,
North America [UTC -4].
Description: Opportunities to provide training occur
every time you help someone with a technology related question, whether it’s
one-on-one assistance or in a classroom environment. Making the most of the
“teachable moment” involves the right combination of training skills,
techniques, and tactics. Technology training is successful when a library
patron learns something new and is able to apply it to their life. You don’t
need to be a tech expert to learn the practical skills for successful
technology training. Crystal Schimpf will share the top ten skills she’s found
most effective in her years of training experience.
“Recruiting and Training
Volunteers for Library Advocacy”
Date & Time: 20 August 2014. 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern
Daylight Time, North America [UTC -4].
Description: Like many libraries, Michigan’s Herrick
District Library found itself with a leaner staff facing more responsibilities
in recent years. The idea of sending employees out of the building to staff
community awareness events seemed like a challenging concept. This Michigan
library not only developed a volunteer force to meet the challenge, but they
now have a sustainable volunteer training and management model to apply in
future situations where the library has big dreams but lacks the staffing
required to pursue them. Come hear from a Geek the Library shining star, and
learn how to engage your community’s volunteer force.
Presenter: Sara DeVries, Marketing &
Public Relations Manager, Herrick District Library, Michigan.
