July 2, 2012 by
Categories: Midd Blogosphere

Planning and Executing your Goals

Once you have your SMART Goals written, then what? It’s time to break it down into steps, identify some milestones, and determine how you will get the work done. This workshop is appropriate for anyone who needs to plan and implement goals.

This session will provide some straight forward strategies using the “Critical Path Method” to determine:

  • What tasks must be carried out
  • The sequence of activities, scheduling and timings involved
  • Task priorities
  • Where parallel activity can be performed
  • The shortest time in which you can complete a goal
  • Resources needed to execute a goal
  • The most efficient way of shortening time on urgent goals

Liaison Discussion Section: Video Tutorials for Library Instruction

Categories: Midd Blogosphere

Topic: Video Tutorials for Library Instruction, presented by Larraby Fellows of CCV
Who’s Invited: All liaisons and anyone else who is interested
When: Friday, January 13, from 2:30-4 pm
Where: Davis Family Library 105

Larraby Fellows, Public Services Librarian at the Community College of Vermont, will tell us how she creates video tutorials for library instruction. Larraby’s presentation will help us kick off our second round of information literacy tutorial planning and creation. Larraby has a nice collection of tutorials on the CCV site. A few of my personal favorites: Go Local? VT Issues & Events as Paper Topics, How Do I Get Help? and Search Words.

Topics will include:

  • Setting goals based on the purpose of the tutorial (eg, on-the-fly instruction, explanation of research concepts, advertisement)
  • Creating consistency and “branding” across tutorials: Setting protocols, where to find copyright-free image collections, how to decide which images to use
  • Moving from step-by-step tutorials toward concept tutorials
  • Time requirements, workflow recommendations, keeping material up-to-date
  • Results/statistics
  • Tech tips: Larraby will tell us why she uses Adobe Captivate (we don’t have Captivate here at Midd)

Liaison Discussion Section: “Let the Technology Do the Work: Sharing the Same News to Different Audiences”

November 22, 2011 by
Categories: Midd Blogosphere

Topic: “Let the Technology Do the Work: Sharing the Same News to Different Audiences,” presented by Jess Isler, Carrie Macfarlane and Joy Pile  (This will be a repeat performance of their presentation at the October Conference at the Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries. The theme of the conference was, “If You’ve Got It, Flaunt it! Promoting Our Resources and Services.”)
Who’s Invited: All Liaisons, Web Development Workgroup members, LIS Web Team, Senior Leadership Team, and anyone who is interested
When:  Wednesday, November 30 from 2-3 pm
Where: Davis Family Library 105

We have Facebook, Twitter, blogs, a web site, and email distribution lists–there are more communication forums on our campus than we should mention here. We also have a constant stream of news and tips to share. What don’t we have? Like most other libraries, our staffing is finite. To save time and effort, we use technology to help us promote our resources across different platforms and to different audiences.

A future session will be devoted to information resources from various agencies within the Executive branch of the federal government.
