PROGRAM ABSTRACTS & LOGIN INFORMATION:



June 17 (11 am-12 pm) / Engaged, Embedded, and Enriched Creative Community Connections (Colorado State Library)

As libraries seek to redefine themselves in a new information age, libraries must develop strategies for engaging with the community. Traditional programs and services are no longer sufficient; libraries must be creative in building community relationships to help frame positive community growth. Learn how three diverse library systems met the challenge of engaging with their communities to create dynamic connections and develop meaningful partnerships that added value to the library AND the community.

June 17 (12-1 pm) / Failing in the Right Direction (Infopeople)

We hear a lot about the need for innovation and risk taking in the workplace but not so much about the flip side of that coin: failure. Failure happens. Some even say that there is no creativity without failure. In fact, many success stories - Thomas Edison, Vera Wang, Jay-Z, Dr. Seuss - are prefaced by accounts of repeated failures. Even so, the library environment has not been especially tolerant of imperfect outcomes. If we want to continue to change and grow, we'll need to rethink how we deal with failure. Though we can't totally avoid failing, we can learn to fail more constructively.

June 18 (8-9 am) / EDGE: Connecting Technology and Community (Nebraska Library Commission)

After two years in development, the Edge Initiative launched earlier this year and library leaders are already sharing how Edge has helped them connect with their local government officials, build community partnerships and align their strategic goals with community priorities. Join us to learn how using Edge will help you make strategic decisions about technology services and connect more closely with your community. Edge, a professional management and leadership tool, gives libraries a look into their local data, from operations to partnerships and programming. It guides library leaders in assessing how their community is using technology and how to align future growth and services with community goals. It also provides useful resources to package and showcase the data to community leaders.

June 18 (9-10 am) / Build Your Matching Gift Mojo (GrantSpace)

Matching gifts are unrestricted grants that a company will give to match its employees' charitable contributions. Grants are often dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation. Typically, individuals must submit forms to their employer to trigger the grant. Many companies offer matching gift programs, but the median percentage of employee participation is under 10 percent, according to Giving in Numbers, 2013 edition. Are you getting matching gifts for your individual donors' contributions? If not, your organization may be leaving money on the table. Learn what efforts you should focus on to maximize the matching gifts that your organization can get.

June 18 (10-11 am) / Dealing with Difficult People: Learn a New Skillset for Today's Multigenerational, Multicultural Workplace (4Good)

It seems to happen in a lot of workplaces. Someone is difficult. It can be a client, peer or (gulp) your boss. Or it could be that incommunicative guy in the mailroom, the gossipy fundraiser, the surly receptionist or the aggressive fill-in-the-blank that puts a crimp in your day. Might be that new Gen Y that asks too many questions, texts too much and talks too little. ENTITLEMENT! Could be the very direct Gen X who leaves the desk at 5 PM with work still to be done. UNCOMMITTED! How about that Baby Boomer who called the two hour meeting so she could introduce a new process and all you're concerned about is getting to the bottom line? TALK, NO ACTION! Dealing with difficult people does not need to be that difficult and can be the beginning of an admired and desired skillset in today's multigenerational, multicultural workplace. Learn how in this webinar presented by Sherri Petro of VPI Strategies.

June 18 (11 am-12 pm) / Be Fearless: Public Speaking for Librarians (WebJunction)

You really can overcome your anxieties and master the art of public speaking. Join us for this webinar to learn some basic skills for preparing and delivering speeches, plus tips to manage your nervousness and make your presentations more memorable.

June 18 (11 am-12 pm) / Show Your Work: The New Knowledge Management (InSync Training)

As training practitioners we spend a great deal of time talking about how people learn and how to help people learn and how to use that learning to help organizations improve. But "learning" often looks like doing, and talking with others about what we're doing. This is frequently how we learn and how we help others learn. In this session we'll look at what to narrate as well as how and when. The bottom line? To improve workplace learning and knowledge management we need to stop saying, "Tell me what you do" and start asking, "Please show me how you did that?"

June 23 (10-11 am) / Evaluating Virtual Training: A Scorecard for Success (InSync Training)

Virtual training needs to work. It should match the organization's strategy, vision, and goals. But, how do you know the experience will be right? How do you know if it will deliver a great learning experience? What does effective and engaging virtual training look like and how would you be able to tell the difference between a great experience and a bad one? Virtual training will be effective when it reaches the intended, dispersed learners; occurs at the right time(s); and requires minimal effort once a roster is provided (the logistics, technology, communications, and evaluations all occur in a timely manner). And most important, it needs to work! Knowledge is shared, skills improve, behavior changes. In this session, you will learn exactly what it takes to create and deliver an effective virtual training experience. This session covers the five critical success factors that need to be in place for effective and engaging live online training to occur. A scorecard is provided to help track what success looks like as you embark upon finding the right virtual training experience for your organization.

June 23 (11 am-12 pm) / Making Video More Social (InSync Training)

Since the first filmstrip projector made its way into the first classroom, standup trainers have been incorporating video into formal instruction. Used well, it can offered points for discussion, nudged thinking about what and why and comparison to that. It often made for good conversation and could reach the affective domain when other approaches did not. But when we moved to eLearning we left a lot of that behind: the video clips were uploaded, but the rest of that experience - the talking and processing - didn't make the transition. With so many new avenues for delivering video online it's a shame that we're not doing a better job of capturing the things a good instructor in a good face-to-face setting can bring. This session looks at ways of correcting that by extending the video experience to make it more social.

June 24 (6-9:30 am) / How Practicing Professionals can get Hands-on Experience in Digital Curation (Lyrasis)

June 25 (10-11 am) / Is the Loss of Institutional Knowledge Hurting You? (Training Magazine Network)

Over the next decade, organizations will experience the largest wave of retirements in history.  To further impact turnover rates, Gen X and Gen Y workers on the average are leaving after only 5 and 2 years of services respectively.  Without a solid and ongoing information succession plan to capture, transform, align and track your employees' tacit knowledge, your company's ability to maintain and/or increase its performance will be affected.  Register below to hear more about this challenge and to learn about strategies you could implement at your company to protect your institutional knowledge.

June 25 (12-1 pm) / Journalism Techniques to Spice Up Your Grant Proposals (4Good)

It's no coincidence that many great grant proposal writers once worked as journalists. Like proposal writers, journalists have a knack for telling clear, compelling stories using quotes and objective evidence. This webinar, led by a grant proposal writer who began as a reporter, explains how to interview individuals such as organization clients to create more impactful proposals.
