Description:
Recent reports from employers indicate that employees enter
the workforce from school without the continuous learning competencies
necessary for their personal and professional success. Among these are
information literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving. This
webinar will explore how these essential habits might be embedded in the
transition from secondary schools, vocational and technical schools, community
colleges, colleges, and universities to the world of work.

Library Language: Vocabularies for the Modern Librarian
Presenters:
Beth Ardner,
Manager of Distributor Relations, Credo Reference; Deirdre
Costello, Associate Platform Manager, Credo Reference
Description:
The age of librarians toiling away in dust and silence is
long over - if it ever existed at all. Librarians are in touch with different
groups almost constantly, and librarianship today requires some serious
communication skills. Whether it's other librarians, administrators, users,
publishers or vendors, librarians have to juggle several different vocabularies
to make sure they're communicating as clearly as possible.
We'd like to draw on
our sales, publishing, usability and web design experience to help build some
guidelines and answer questions about communicating with some of these groups.
This seminar will focus specifically on communicating with publishers, vendors
and users, but we'd love to hear what you have to say about communication in
libraries!
Registration:
The Socialite Library
Presenter: Katy
Kelly, Communications and Outreach Librarian, University of
Dayton
Description: Feel like you’re using social media
on behalf of your library “just because” and to an unresponsive audience? Think
of a great party host. They plan the party and provide a welcoming space. Maybe
they even incentivize you to attend and participate. Great hosts also take the
time to check how their guests are doing, respond to needs and complaints, and
adjust the party to accommodate future attendees. Learn how one library
revamped its social media by thinking like a socialite party host. Katy Kelly,
Communications and Outreach Librarian at University of Dayton, Dayton, Ohio,
will describe her use of Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and Instagram on behalf
of Roesch Library to embrace the student-created nickname, Club Roesch.
Registration:
To Evaluation and Beyond: The Evolving Role of the Embedded
Librarian
Presenter: David
Shumaker, Clinical Associate Professor, Catholic University of
America
Description: Higher education administrators and
faculty are increasingly attuned to the importance of information literacy and
the role of academic librarians in teaching it. With this new engagement come
new challenges, including the need to balance cost and quality, helping to
shape instructional strategy, and especially developing meaningful evaluation
of students’ information literacy learning. Also on the horizon are embedded
data curation and new roles beyond instruction. This webinar will explore key
trends in embedded librarianship today.
Registration: Monday,
January 14 at 1:00 PM EDT
