Presenter:
Penny

Description: Are you looking for new picture
books to offer at your story times? Story times are one of the most popular and
consistent library programs held for families, yet we often feature the “tried
and true” books we have used for years. This webinar will focus on new picture
books that will engage the story time audience, including books that invite
audience participation, books the promote the five parent practices (talking,
singing, writing, playing, and reading), books based on songs and nursery
rhymes, books that promote pre literacy skills and kindergarten readiness, and
websites useful to story time planning.
At
the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will have learned about many new
books that can be included in story times, including:
*
Attention-holding books for babies and young toddlers
*
Cumulative, circular, sing-along, and audience participation books that enliven
story times
*
Books that promote the Five Parent Practices to add parent learning to your
story times
*
Informational books that engage young listeners
*
Books that promote pre literacy skills and kindergarten readiness
*
Books that reflect the diversity of the families we serve
This
webinar will be of interest to any library staff member who provides storytime
programs to children, including new children’s librarians or other library
staff who are relatively new to serving children. This webinar is particularly
valuable for support staff whose work includes children's services
responsibilities at public libraries and elementary schools.

“Making
Training Stick: An Interactive Webinar for Supervisors”
Date
& Time: October
24th, 2017. 10:00 AM
Presenters:
Andrew
Sanderbeck, Terry McQuown, Brenda Hough
Description:
Organizations
invest a lot of time and money each year training their employees, but are they
truly getting the best return on their investment? As a supervisor, one of your
key responsibilities is to develop your staff, including identifying the need
and sending them to training programs.
In
this interactive and informative webinar, Terry, Andrew and Brenda will
introduce supervisors to “transfer of training” in order to help them
understand various tools and strategies to support their staff in using more of
their learning on the job. They’ll also explain the critical differences that
supervisors make in the success and/or failure of employee training in any
organization.
At
the end of this program, participants will be able to:
*
Describe the role supervisor’s play in helping staff transfer learning from
training to the job
*
Identify practical tools and strategies that they can start using immediately
to help their staff transfer learning from training to the job
*
Overcome possible barriers to using transfer of training
This
program will help organizations get more out of the trainings they send their
staff to, rather than simply sending their staff to more trainings.
Webinars
are free of charge. Special note: this webinar is a collaboration
between Infopeople and Niche Academy(link is external). You
can pre-register for clicking on the Register Now button at the top of this
page which will take you to the Niche Academy registration page.

Date
& Time: October 18, 2017. 2pm Eastern (11am Pacific | 12pm Mountain |
1pm Central)
Presenters:
-

launch in 2014, helping to organize Wikipedia edit-a-thons at Mount Holyoke
College, the Rhode Island School of Design, and most recently UNC-Chapel Hill.
Description:
Wikipedia,
the global volunteer-edited reference source, has grown from a scrappy upstart
to being regarded (sometimes reluctantly) as a mainstay of our information
landscape. But while Wikipedia now has more than five million articles in
English, it still contains gaps in coverage that stem from the demographics of
its editors. Since 2013, a group of librarians at the University of North
Carolina has coordinated and hosted nearly twenty Wikipedia edit-a-thons with
the goal of eliminating those gaps. At these events, participants have
developed articles on women in art, science, and math; regional African
American and Native American history; and local practitioners of traditional
arts.
The
librarians at UNC are not operating in a vacuum, but are part of a worldwide
community of GLAM (gallery, library, archives, and museum) professionals bringing
their unique expertise to the Wiki movement. In this session, four of them will
discuss their experiences and the broader role of librarians in the Wiki world.
The presenters will focus especially on the edit-a-thon program at UNC-Chapel
Hill, discussing event outcomes, addressing the benefits and challenges of
hosting an edit-a-thon, and sharing tips, advice, and step-by-step resources
for librarians considering their own involvement in Wikipedia.
