Niche Academy live webinars:

Wednesday, January, 24, 2024, 11:00a PT, Misinformation in the College Classroom: How are Faculty and Librarians Teaching News Literacy Skills?<https://www.nicheacademy.com/misinformation-in-the-college-classroom>

Information literacy skills can help students identify mis- and disinformation, both for coursework and as they navigate the world of information beyond college, but are they being taught these skills? Laura Saunders will share original research on faculty and librarians' perceptions of mis- and disinformation, explore the ways in which they are addressing mis- and disinformation in their instruction, and conclude with ideas for how academic librarians can work with faculty to more fully integrate information literacy related to mis- and disinformation into college curricula across disciplines.

Wednesday, February 14, 2024, 11:00a PT, Cultivating and Sustaining the Relationship-Driven Library<https://www.nicheacademy.com/cultivating-and-sustaining-the-relationship-driven-library>

We all know that teamwork makes the dream work, but what does that actually mean for the day-to-day work of librarianship? Cultivating and sustaining the relationship-driven library has four steps: 1) planting the seeds of partnership, 2) nurturing co-developed ideas, 3) harvesting and celebrating accomplishments, and 4) resting and preparing for future partnerships.

Join Noah Lenstra for this webinar on building the relationship-driven library. You'll leave this session with renewed confidence in your ability to find partners, cultivate working relationships with them, and keep relationships fresh and impactful, as well as how to tactfully step back from relationships that aren't working the way you hoped they would. Finally, you'll learn how to advocate for the time you need for this process.

Niche Academy webinars are archived and made available in the Oregon Library Staff Academy<https://my.nicheacademy.com/oregonstaff> in the Niche Academy Webinars for Library Staff category<https://my.nicheacademy.com/oregonstaff?category=11952> the week following the live webinar.

Carterette Series Webinars

Wednesday, February 7, 2024, 11:00a PT, Building Inclusive Online Tutorials<https://gla.georgialibraries.org/carterette-series-webinars/>

Online tutorials are becoming an increasingly frequent element in libraries. One element not yet fully explored in the theory and praxis around them is the concept of inclusion. In some ways this is understandable. A quick glance at best practices in inclusive teaching highlights two assumptions: interaction and repeated contact. How, then, can online tutorials create a learning space that welcomes all students and affirms they belong as students and researchers? We will discuss content and structure choices that are possible in online tutorials to create inclusive, welcoming learning environments even without the benefits of personal interaction. Topics covered include diverse visual cues, multimodal approaches, and gender inclusive language.

About the Presenter:
Abigail Mann is the Digital Scholarship Librarian at Illinois Wesleyan University. Prior to receiving her MSLS, she was a tenured English professor and has taught a broad variety of courses in diverse formats. Her research interests focus on creating partnerships between teaching faculty and librarians in ways that enhance student experiences and opportunities.

Can't make it to the live show? That's okay. The session will be recorded and available on the Carterette Series Webinars website<https://gla.georgialibraries.org/carterette-series-webinars-archives/> for later viewing.

Upcoming from NCompass Live:

NCompass Live<https://nlc.nebraska.gov/NCompassLive/> is the Nebraska Library Commission's weekly webinar series, covering a variety of library activities and topics. The show is free and open to anyone to watch, all webinars start at 8:00a PT. The show is recorded<https://nlc.nebraska.gov/NCompassLive/NCArchivelist.asp> for anyone who may want to watch it again or who cannot attend at the scheduled time. Registration for a live show is not required to view the archived recording. Note: some content is specific to libraries in Nebraska.

January 17, 2024, 8:00am PT, Auditing Library Websites<https://nlc.nebraska.gov/scripts/calendar/eventshow.asp?ProgID=23282>

Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention.

Presenter: Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal. She is a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. She's written three books about social media and content marketing, specifically for libraries, and speaks nationally on both these and technology-related topics. As a former children's librarian, she enjoys bringing the "fun of technology" to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.

"AT YOUR LEISURE" Recorded webinars to view at your convenience:

Bed Bugs: How to Prevent and Handle Outbreaks (Ryan Dowd, December 2023)

Topics in this session include:

*       How to do a complete visual inspection.
*       The 6 steps for eradication (including when to steam, freeze, vacuum, or use the dryer).
*       Special tips for libraries, inspecting beds, receiving donations and how to not bring them home from work.
*       A special bonus section on how to inspect your hotel rooms!

"[This webinar] was excellent. I especially appreciated the public librarian with a demonstration of their book return inspection routine. It's so easy to get complacent with book inspection, so regular reminders are needed.  We still need to have our Friends group trained on that practice for incoming donations, as well. I feel like we're fairly well prepared with supplies, but found a few more things that would be good to have on hand." - Perry Stokes, Baker County Library District

This recorded session<https://my.nicheacademy.com/homelessnessoregonlibraries/course/68790> is available in the Dowd Training Academy<https://my.nicheacademy.com/homelessnessoregonlibraries> (for Oregon library staff only). Need access? Please use this request form<https://www.cognitoforms.com/StateLibraryOfOregon/RequestAccessToContinuingEducationResources> and select the relevant option.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Hybrid Programming<https://elearning.ala.org/local/catalog/view/product.php?productid=369> (ALA)

Using two examples from the Boston Public Library's recent hybrid programming, the presenters will walk through the logistical details to consider when planning hybrid programs. The many decisions to make about staff roles and responsibilities, registration, managing the online and in-person audience engagement, and leveraging AV and technology, will be outlined and discussed.

Graphic Novels and Manga For Teens and Tweens<https://infopeople.org/training/view/webinar/archived> (Infopeople)

Hey, library staff! Comics! Everyone is looking for them at your library, but they all want something different. What do you say to the parent whose child won't let go of Dog Man? How high is your stack of Raina Telgemeier readalikes? Where is your manga section, and how do you know which series to add to your collection?

Laying Out the Welcome Mat: Asset Mapping to Better Serve the Immigrant Community<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/laying-out-the-welcome-mat.html> (WebJunction)

With immigration in the news, many library practitioners are wondering how they can support immigrant populations as they transition into their communities. This webinar covers how to use asset mapping-a way to discover, gather, and share community resources-to grow strong relationships and align with existing community partners and resources. Asset mapping will help you understand and highlight your community's resources, strengthening your library as an invaluable hub for the immigrants in your area.
