"Growing Through Conflict: Healthy Workplace Communication"
Date & Time: 10 September 2015, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, North America [UTC -4]
Presenter: Anna Shelton, Project Coordinator, WebJunction
Description: We
are all so busy! Who has time to deal with conflicts? When conflict occurs, and
we are confronted with a colleague, library patron, supervisor, or board member
who is frustrated and upset, it can be tempting to identify a quick fix.
However, when we do take the time to practice clear communication to uncover
what people really need, we can get to better outcomes. Healthy communication
involves:
- Actions that show you are really listening
- Communication with people who are angry or upset in a way that
their needs can be addressed and resolved.
- Knowing your own emotions and needs, and effective ways to
express them.
Practicing healthy communication skills will boost your
self-confidence and contribute to a happier workplace.

Carterette Series Webinar
(Georgia Library Association and
the Georgia Public Library Service)
Date & Time: September 9, 2015 -- 3PM EST
(2PM CST | 1PM MST | 12PM PST)
Presenter: Randall S. Gooden is an associate
professor of history at Clayton State University in Morrow. He teaches family
history and genealogy at the university and has been an avid genealogist since
he was a child. He also shares the perspective of librarians and archivists on
genealogy and genealogists as a former assistant curator for the West Virginia
and Regional History Collection at West Virginia University, head of the
archives and library at Ohio Historical Society's Youngstown Historical Center
of Industry and Labor, and circuit rider archivist for the Georgia Archives.
Description: A
love-hate relationship often exists between libraries and genealogy. Many
libraries acknowledge that genealogists account for a sizeable portion of their
visitors, but the enthusiasm and expectations of genealogists often place
burdens on reference/research and acquisitions staff. How can you better
understand genealogists and their needs and draw upon that understanding to
benefit your library? This Webinar takes you on a journey toward mutual
appreciation and support.

Date & Time: Wed, Sep 9, 2015 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM SAST

programs--those that incorporate science, technology, engineering, arts, and
math--are interesting, engaging, and educational, and they appeal to a wide
range of youth library customers. This webinar will explore all aspects of
offering STEAM programs for preschoolers and school-age children in the
library: how STEAM fits the library mission, what age-appropriate STEAM
programs look like, how to identify and approach potential community partners,
and strategies for gathering go-to program planning resources. Attendees will
leave the webinar equipped to offer hands-on STEAM learning opportunities for
youth, regardless of library size or budget. This Webinar will be presented by

"STEAM & Día: Offering Informal Learning
with a Mind Toward Diversity"
Date & Time: Wed,
Sep 30, 2015 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM SAST
Description: Libraries are optimal institutions to provide
informal learning: we can structure programs around our own goals instead of
formal curricula, and our offerings are freely available to anyone in the
community. Yet it is vital that we recognize that the children who attend our
programs--especially STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math)
program--are likely not all on a level playing field. Young students of color
routinely score lower in math and science than their white peers due to lack of
access and preparation in STEAM areas. The library can help bridge this STEAM
gap with programs developed with the intent of having a positive impact on
every child who participates. Attendees will leave the webinar with tools and
resources to allow your STEAM programming to reach the full spectrum of your
community.
