“The Community Resiliency Model: Becoming Trauma-Informed and
Resiliency-Focused and Informed”
Date & Time: July 13th, 2017 12:00
PM
Presenters:
Jennifer Burton, LMFT, CEAT, CDW-C, Trauma Resource Institute
Nick Skenderian, MSc., Program Manager, Trauma Resource
Institute
Deborah Takahashi, MLIS, Pasadena Public Library
Description: As part of the 2016-2017 California State Library (CSL) Mental
Health Initiative, library staff, teens, and youth advocates are invited to learn more about the
Community Resiliency Model (CRM). CRM’s goal is to help to create
“trauma-informed” and “resiliency-focused” communities that share a common
understanding of the impact of trauma and chronic stress on the nervous system
and how resiliency can be restored or increased using this skills-based
approach.
This 45-minute CRM (Community Resiliency Model) presentation
will focus on learning some key concepts of neurobiology and education about
stress/trauma, which are the foundation for learning CRM Skills. While the
presentation will touch on these skills in relation to youth, the focus will be
on using skills for self-care. Two CRM Skills will be taught to participants
(if time permits, a third skill will be included). Following the presentation,
there will be 15-minutes for questions and answers.
This webinar will be of interest to: library staff, educators,
parents, teens, youth advocates, and mentors.

“Wikipedia for Libraries: Preview the Possibilities, Discover
the Opportunities”
Date & Time: 19 July 2017. 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Eastern Daylight Time, North America [UTC -4]
Presenters: Monika Sengul-Jones, Wikipedian-in-Residence, OCLC; Tiffany
Bailey, Fine Arts Division Manager, Dallas Public Library; and Betha
Gutsche, WebJunction Program Manager.
Description: Wikipedia is more than its
collection of user-contributed articles; it is a dynamic community with
powerful tools that ensure reliability. For public libraries, Wikipedia can be
a useful tool to connect patrons with quality information and help them build
information literacy skills. In this webinar, learn how you can use Wikipedia
to expand access to your collections and creatively engage your communities.
Gain an understanding of the editorial process from OCLC's
Wikipedian-in-Residence and discover how guest presenter Tiffany Bailey has
successfully used Wikipedia for community outreach and partnership-building at
Dallas Public Library.
You'll leave with new insights about Wikipedia and practical
tips on how to apply what you've learned. You’ll also hear more about the Wikipedia +
Libraries online training program being held in the fall of 2017. This
free ten-week course offers the opportunity to gain skills in Wikipedia editing
and engagement in a collaborative learning environment with public library
peers.
The Wikipedia + Libraries: Better Together project is funded by
the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Wikimedia Foundation.
“Measures that Matter Part Three: Moving Toward More Meaningful
Measures”
Date & Time: 26 July 2017. 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Eastern Daylight Time, North America [UTC -4]
Presenters: Chantal Stevens, Executive Director, Community Indicators Consortium; Rebecca
Jones, Director, Branch & Neighborhood Services, Brampton Public
Library; and Linda Hofschire, Director, Library Research Service,
Colorado State Library
Description: Circulation, visits,
program attendance, patron satisfaction… these are some of the many measures
commonly collected by public librarians. But how well do we understand what
measures tell the most meaningful stories of today’s libraries? During the
first two webinars in this series, we discussed the current state of the public
library data landscape – what data collection efforts exist at the national
level and how they impact what we know about libraries and their patrons. In
this third webinar, we will look toward the future, considering what data
public librarians should collect to demonstrate their impact. To do this, we
will hear from speakers both within and outside of the library field who will
provide multiple perspectives on meaningful measures.
This webinar is the third in a three-part series about the
Institute of Museum and Library Services’ and the Chief Officers of State
Library Agencies’ Measures that Matter initiative, a field-wide discussion of
the current state of public library data.

“Effective and Valuable Outreach: Aligning Activities to
Goal-Driven Assessment”
Date & Time: July 19, 2017 -- 2pm Eastern (11am Pacific | 12pm Mountain | 1pm
Central)
Presenters:
Kristen Mastel is an outreach and instruction librarian at the University
of Minnesota. She received her Masters of Library Science from Indiana
University, and her undergraduate Bachelor of Arts from the University of
Minnesota- Morris. Her research areas of interest include instruction,
information literacy, outreach and instructional design. Kristen is a Past
President of the Minnesota Library Association. She also is President-Elect of
the United States Agricultural Information Network.
Shannon Farrell is the Natural Resources Librarian at the University of
Minnesota - Twin Cities. She holds an MS in Library and Information Science
from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an MS in Environmental
Studies from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. She previously
worked at Colorado State University as the Agricultural and Biological Sciences
Librarian. Prior to earning her MLIS, she spent over ten years working on
scientific research projects related to sustainable agriculture, genetically
modified organisms, animal behavior, wildlife conservation, and invasive
species. Her research interests span numerous areas, including outreach
assessment, video games and gaming technology, and salaries and status of
library workers
Description: Outreach is a facet of many of our jobs. Over time, library job
descriptions have been adjusted to include outreach, whether this includes
targeting departments, student populations, or the surrounding community.
Libraries have attempted to connect with their users through a variety of
activities and strategies. However, how do we ensure our outreach activities
are impactful? Assessment has also become more important over time, since many
library budgets have shrunk and we are often asked to do more with less. It is
imperative that we can justify the amount of time, energy, and money required
for outreach activities. Determining in advance what impact we want to make
dictates what types of events we hold. Further, better assessment leads to a
better understanding of the impact of our activities. Much of the library
literature shares strategies for reaching out to campus communities; however,
there is a lack of discussion around goal-oriented activities and if these
activities reached their goals through assessment.
In this session, learn how to write SMART (Specific, Measurable,
Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Bound) outreach goals that are tied to your
institutional mission and how to apply various assessment techniques that will
evaluate if your goals are being met. Assessment techniques will address
various factors, including amount of time and/or funding required, amount of
staffing involved, and type of data produced (qualitative or quantitative).
Attendees will also learn about the limitations of each assessment method.
Participants will be asked to share their previous experience with goal-writing
and assessment of outreach and will work through case studies that illustrate a
particular scenario with concrete goals and ways to accurately assess the
identified outreach activity. Attendees will be provided materials to bring
back to their institution to apply what they learned using a previous or
upcoming local outreach event.
