A strong staff is the library's most important investment. Mindful hiring, mentoring, and development of new staff, as well as recognizing and utilizing the strengths of existing staff, are important factors in ensuring employee satisfaction and engagement. A motivated, engaged, and appreciated staff achieves personal and professional satisfaction and makes vital contributions to the successful performance of the library. This course will examine the ways in which library managers can nurture and develop employees by establishing and promoting a healthy culture of staff development and engagement. This course will also examine ways to foster engagement in a segment of the library workforce that is sometimes overlooked (i.e., part-time employees, student workers, and/or library volunteers).
Topics include:
* Smart interviewing strategies
* Building and sustaining a healthy organizational climate
* Staff engagement
* Mentoring techniques
* Recognizing and rewarding effort
* Coaching for stronger performance
* Creating career path development
This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our Certificate in Library Management<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-management.php>, but can be taken as a stand-alone course as well.

Digital humanities has become more commonplace for humanities librarians, but librarians tend to think of it as a special form of librarianship that is somewhat distinct from humanities librarianship generally. What if we thought of digital humanities librarianship as humanities librarianship in a digital age? How might this change our thinking about both digital humanities and the humanities in libraries? This course aims to explore librarian practices - especially collection development and instruction - in the context of the digital humanities. We will not engage with digital humanities tools or methods (and this course will assume that participants are already familiar with them), but will consider how these tools and methods effect humanities services in libraries. Participants should have a background in humanities librarianship and knowledge of digital humanities practices. This course also serves as a follow-up to "Introduction to Digital Humanities for Librarians."<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/112-digital-humanities.php>
Objectives:
* Articulate an understanding of how digital humanities may change the practice of humanities librarianship.
* Define digital humanities instructional plans in terms of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy.
* Rethink collection development to facilitate digital scholarship needs.
Schedule:
* Week 1: Digital humanities librarianship today
* Week 2: Building generous humanities collections and services
* Week 3: Digital humanities instruction
* Week 4: Humanities librarianship in a digital age
Working with Library Service Design Tools<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/159-service-design-tools.php>

Service design is rapidly becoming one of the most popular assessment methods in the library profession. Building on the foundation and understanding of service design as learned in "Service Design: Towards a Holistic Assessment of Library Services," the "Working with Library Service Design Tools" class is a deep dive into working with library service design tools. Students will be introduced to service design tools that are not in other classes through articles and hands-on assignments. Over the course of 4 weeks, students will learn about and use a new tool or technique (Service Design Blueprints, Prototyping for Services, Analysis and Synthesis, and Scenario/Expectation Maps) for each of the 4 weeks of this course. This course hopes to bridge the gap between introduction to library service design and for those students and researchers wanting to extend their service design knowledge through hands-on application of various service design tools. Prior knowledge of service design is not a requisite to taking this class.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
* Adapt tools to fit their research question
* Understand and determine best tool to use in a situation
* Feel confident working with tools such as Service Blueprints and Scenario/Expectation Mapping
* Find patterns and meaning through Analysis and Synthesis of research data
This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our Certificate in User Experience (UX)<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-ux.php>, but can be taken as a stand-alone course as well.
Metadata for Data Resources<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/144-metadata-for-datasets.php>
Instructor: Catelynne Sahadath<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/instructors.php#catelynneSahadath>

Access to data resources in libraries has changed significantly in past years. Librarians tasked with helping users gain access to data resources face a decentralized environment that can be difficult for lay users to master. There is a need for libraries to develop strategies to make these resources discoverable. Some current solutions include creating detailed lists on library websites, loading MARC data into the catalogue, or creating separate databases for dataset metadata. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for data discoverability. Libraries need to develop their own strategies for the description and discovery of data resources. This also requires librarians to develop the skills necessary to find, manipulate, and use metadata for the data resources to which they have access.
The purpose of this course is to help librarians develop the skills necessary to strategically develop and execute a resource description strategy specific to data resources. Learners will gain exposure to the aspects of MARC relating to data resources, and the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI).
This course will be useful for information professionals who are responsible for facilitating access to data resources, as well as information professionals who are responsible for the management of metadata for data resources.
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
* Develop a resource description strategy for data sets
* Find and clean metadata for data sets using open source tools, and common metadata standards including MARC and DDI
* Load and maintain metadata for data sets
* Sustainability planning for data discovery

In 2011, thirty-two percent of higher education students took at least one course online. Most accrediting agencies stipulate that library services available to on-campus students must be made available to online students. This four week course will discuss ways librarians may embed their skills in the virtual campus through its learning management system through the use of portal tabs, blocks, eReserves, knowledge bases, and student/faculty orientations. Discussion will turn to transferring bibliographic instruction into the online class through the use of team teaching, guest lecturing, and conducting synchronous workshops. The session concludes with an examination of the librarian as both a subject matter liaison and copyright point person during the design and development of online courses. This course is relevant to instruction librarians, outreach librarians, and embedded librarians who seek ways to infuse library resources and services to their growing virtual campuses.
Learning outcomes:
* Discuss ways to incorporate library services through the learning management system level.
* Examine bibliographic instruction in the virtual classroom through team teaching, guest lecturing.
* Identify librarian roles during the design and development of online courses.
* Assessing embedded librarianship efforts.

How do we engage students in their own learning, especially in short, one-shot library instruction sessions? In this workshop we will examine a variety of student engagement techniques, focusing on Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning, problem solving, and metacognition. Over the course of four weeks we will examine up to 10 of these techniques and how they can be applied in traditional, blended, and online classes. We will especially uncover approaches that will work for one shot library sessions. In groups we will examine one or two student engagement techniques in detail, and explore how these might work in our own contexts. We will also develop a plan for applying a student engagement technique in our own practice. This will be a discussion intensive workshop in which it will be essential to follow a close schedule of information presentation, interaction, and assessment.
This course can be taken as one of the elective courses in our eight-course Certificate in Library Instruction<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-instruction.php>, but can be taken as a stand-alone course as well.
Supercharging Your Storytimes<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/157-supercharging-storytimes.php>: Using Interactivity, Intentionality, and Community of Practice to Help Children Learn with Joy
Instructor: Saroj Ghoting<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/instructors.php#sarojGhoting>

The IMLS-funded VIEWS2 study from the University of Washington showed that when storytime providers increased interactivity, intentionality, sharing early literacy tips with adults, and developing a community of practice, children's early literacy behaviors in storytimes increase. Using the VIEWS2 Planning Tool (VPT), participants will become more intentional about connecting storytime books and activities to early literacy, become more comfortable sharing early literacy tips with adults, and learn to scaffold books and activities to different age levels, newborn to age five. Supercharged storytimes is the term used to indicate the incorporation of these elements into your storytime. Through readings, assignments, and forums, participants will learn ways to integrate the elements of a supercharged storytime through all aspects of storytime, planning, delivery and assessment. This training is most valuable for those who already have experience presenting storytimes.
Participants will:
* Learn about the VIEWS2 study and its impact on storytime practices
* Learn the elements of a supercharged storytime and ways to integrate into their own storytimes
* Become intentional in relating books and storytime activities to early literacy and later reading through the use of the VIEWS2 Planning Tool
* Learn about and share ways to increase interactivity with children, as well as parents/caregivers
* Become more comfortable sharing early literacy information with parents/caregivers
* Become familiar with assessment tools for self-reflection, and outcomes-based evaluation of storytimes
* Connect the VPT to other early literacy structures such as your state's early learning guidelines, Every Child Ready to Read(r) and Head Start Child Outcomes
Required Text: Supercharged Storytimes. You may purchase a personal copy<http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=11542> or use a copy your library owns as long as you have access to it for the full four week class.
Expectations: This class is four weeks of content. There WILL be homework during the fourth week which will be due by the end of the fifth week. Although there are individual differences, you may expect each week to take 3 - 4 hours of work which includes the readings, watching the presentations and homework assignments.

Libraries, archives and museums have developed metadata standards for describing resources in their collections for years, well before we heard of the word "metadata". The Library of Congress initially developed and implemented the MARC format for encoding bibliographic data that could be read by computers in 1968. The format went through many changes since then, expanding in the kinds of resources that could be described, the functionality that was supported, and the countries that used it. We've heard calls for MARC's death for over 10 years, since it was born in a different age, when computer storage space was expensive and there was no Internet for sharing information. Because of the large infrastructure in place that supports creating, sharing and managing bibliographic data built around MARC, replacing it has proven to be a difficult task requiring world-wide input and experimentation. At the same time, there are new ways to share information, and the vision of the Semantic Web is beginning to gain a foothold in our institutions. As many institutions have begun to experiment with and share bibliographic data as Linked Data, the Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) has been under development to provide a framework and language to replace MARC using a Linked Data model.
It is a challenge to both take advantage of new models and tools that have emerged as part of the Semantic Web and still be able to carry over the rich bibliographic data that we have spent many years creating and sharing. BIBFRAME is an effort to create a framework that supports the description of all kinds of information objects in a Linked Data context, to connect with other Linked Data initiatives, and eventually to support the functionality needed for LAMs to satisfy their responsibilities in terms of their information resources.
This workshop gives an overview of Linked Data, how it developed, how it is encoded and used, and its importance to libraries, archives, and museums. It traces the development of BIBFRAME from the release of its initial data model to the current revision. It provides an overview of the BIBFRAME vocabulary version 2.0, its principles and encoding conventions with a discussion of its scope, strengths and shortcomings. It will look at other related ontologies and vocabularies, including controlled vocabularies that have been available as Linked Data and extensions to BIBFRAME that are under development. It will include discussion of current experimentation, especially the Linked Data for Production (LD4P) project and will demonstrate tools for transforming existing MARC records. A look at future developments of the BIBFRAME vocabulary, tools and possible implementation scenarios will be included.
This course will allow participants to:
* Gain an understanding of the principles of Linked Data and why it is important to libraries, museums and archives
* Explore the reasons for developing BIBFRAME, its data model, and how it can apply to various types of resources
* Understand the BIBFRAME vocabulary version 2.0 and how bibliographic data is expressed using it
* Learn about other Linked Data vocabularies that it will likely interact with
* Explore tools for converting MARC records to BIBFRAME
* Learn about experimentation and what to expect in the future
Introduction to RDF and the Semantic Web<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/020-intro-semantic-web.php>
Instructor: Robert Chavez<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/instructors.php#robertChavez>
Dates: October 2nd to 27th, 2017
Credits: 1.5 CEUs
Price: $175

One of the main goals the semantic web (which includes the concepts of Linked Data/the Web of Data) is to allow the web to be treated like a database through structured metadata, controlled vocabularies, and data linking.
Simply put, semantics is the process of adding description and information to resources to help us (and machines) to understand the meaning of these resources. This is not a foreign concept to LIS professionals, the language and tools of semantic data, however, are a relatively new and evolving discipline.
This course will focus on the basic concepts of the RDF framework, including URIs, Subjects, Predicates, and Objects, and how to use vocabularies as Properties. We will work with an XML representation (serialization) of RDF and create some simple RDF resource descriptions (triples) and demonstrate how these descriptions can be used to link/share different information about resources. The course will also introduce the fundamentals of Semantic vocabularies and ontologies in RDFS, SKOS, and OWL.
This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate-xml-rdf.php>, and may assume a certain level of background knowledge covered in other courses in the sequence.
Introduction to JSON and Structured Data<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/161-intro-JSON.php>
Instructor: Robert Chavez<http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/instructors.php#robertChavez>
Dates: October 2nd to 27th, 2017

JSON is a semi-structured data format for encoding data and is a popular language for data sharing and interchange - as such it is considered a good alternative to XML. This materials in this course will cover all the core JSON syntax and data structures as well as:
* structured data as a concept
* core data structuring approaches
* the differences between XML and JSON
* when to use XML, when to use JSON
JSON itself is the language of JSON Schema and JSON-LD. We will also study core JSON Schema, a language that allows annotation and validation of JSON documents, and have an introduction to JSON-LD (full JSON-LD will be covered in an upcoming course).
