[Libs-Or] News and Highlights from WebJunction

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings!



Here are two great articles from WebJunction and information about two free webinars next month:



Article Highlights

*         Before Bilingual Storytime: Strategies for Successful Outreach to Latino Communities<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/before-bilingual-storytime-outreach.html>: in a recent WebJunction webinar, the presenters shared strategies for engagement with Latino and Spanish-speaking communities, including real-world examples of successful connection with these varied communities, and laid out a basic outreach process that you can adapt for your own community. Read more and watch the archived webinar for free!


*         Overcoming the Paradox of Anytime + Anywhere = Never:<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/WALT-learns-together.html> one of the challenges of self-directed learning is that when you have an unlimited amount of time (no real external deadlines), and can engage from anywhere (wondrous, terrible internet!), you never actually get around to the learning. Check out this article for suggestions on how to overcome this common challenge and succeed as a learner.



Upcoming Webinars

If you can't attend a live session, all WebJunction webinars are recorded and available for free in the course catalog<http://learn.webjunction.org/>.



Beyond the Job Description: Ten Practical Tips for the New Rural Library Director
Thursday, August 11, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour

Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/beyond-the-job-description.html



On paper, your job description as a library director may not cover some of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with serving a small or rural community. Juggling the nuances of a new position can be overwhelming, but equipped with a tool belt of everyday skills ranging from assessment to communication and outreach to time-management, you can move through your new role with confidence. This session will be useful for anyone interested in strengthening their role in the library, even if you aren't a director. Come learn from a successful new director, 10 fresh tips for working with staff, boards, and the community to create a strong and vibrant library. Join us and bring your tips and ideas to help new directors succeed!



This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries<http://arsl.info/>.



Presented by: Jennifer Pearson, Director, Marshall County Memorial Library (TN) and current board member, ARSL





Building Your Learning Culture: The Whole Organization Approach

Wednesday, August 24, 2016 / 12 pm Pacific / 1 hour

Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/build-your-learning-culture.html



The most innovative workplaces embrace learning as an essential activity for their employees. Since libraries are dedicated learning places in our communities, it is crucial that we practice learning intentionally and internally. But where do we begin? Learning is not one-size-fits-all for individuals or for organizations. This webinar, for all library staff, from front line to administration, encourages a broad approach to creating organizational learning structures. Learn how libraries of all sizes can map learning strategies to highlight the most impactful opportunities for staff.



Presented by: Jami Carter, Director, Tooele City Library (UT)



Cheers!
