FREE TRAINING OPPORTUNITY

"Next Gen Librarianship: Where Do We Go from Here?"

Speaker: Rachel Singer Gordon
Cost: Free to Library Staff of Oregon Libraries
Date: Friday, February 9, 2007, 9:00a-10:30 a.m.

Description of Training: 
Today's multi-generational library workforce faces a number of both internal and external challenges. To meet these challenges, we need to learn how to work together effectively, keep connected and current, and draw on individuals' unique strengths. In a graying profession, we also need to pay attention to succession planning, passing on institutional wisdom, and recruiting, retaining, and mentoring the next generation.
