"Book

Description: This webinar will be of interest to California
public libraries, but others may find it of interest and are welcome to attend.
Civic
engagement programming is an exploding area of library service, and
community-building is high on the list of priorities for 21st-century
libraries. If you’ve been wondering how to get started in these crucial areas,
this webinar is for you.
Book
to Action is an inspirational program that builds on the book group idea to
include a community service opportunity. Libraries choose a book on a topic of
interest to their community and enlist a partner agency to create a volunteer
activity that addresses the topic. The book’s author is invited to speak and
then the community is invited to participate in the volunteer activity.
Libraries
around California have found that Book to Action is the perfect way to expand
the library’s reach and to attract new partners, as it builds on our
traditional brand – books – and looks forward into new possibilities.
Join
Mary Menzel, Director of the California Center for the Book, to learn what Book
to Action is all about and how your library can apply for funding.
At
the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
-
Understand the concepts behind Book to Action.
-
Be aware of the application process for Book to Action funding and deadlines
for programming and reports.
-
Be aware of what support and resources are available from the California Center
for the Book.
This
webinar will be of interest to California public library staff and volunteers

"It
Takes Two: Technical Services and Public Services Collaborations"
Date
& Time: Wednesday,
October 21, 2015 -- 2PM EST (1PM CST | 12PM MST | 11AM PST).
Presenters:
Erin Leach and
Jaleh Fazelian.
Description:
In many
libraries, Technical Services and Public Services are seen as two distinct
functional areas with little opportunity for cross-departmental collaboration.
Both functional areas possess specialized knowledge and increased communication
between Technical Services and Public Services staffs is important for creating
more effective and efficient workflows and, ultimately, a better experience for
library patrons. It may seem impossible to know how to begin cross-training and
cross-departmental collaboration when time and money are tight.
In this webinar, Jaleh
Fazelian (Head of Research, Learning, & Information, John Carroll
University) and Erin Leach (Head of Serials Cataloging, University of Georgia)
will discuss the unique traits that Technical Services and Public Services
librarians bring to collaborative projects. Fazelian and Leach will also share
some practical tips for beginning and maintaining collaborative relationships
between Technical Services and Public Services. While primarily directed toward
academic librarians and administrators, the information in this webinar also
applies to librarians in any situation where Technical Services and Public
Services are separate functional areas of the library.
