Description:

Library users and stakeholders will recognize and value the importance of their library's services and of the librarian to the organization. That is the ultimate goal of this six-hour workshop. The outcome for the class is that librarians will be able to show the value of their library's services. Participants will become familiar with an evaluation process and will use and take away methods and tools for assessment, evaluation planning, creating logic models, data collection, data analysis and reporting. The workshop will feature group exercises that move participants through the steps of an evaluation process. There will also be student discussion and exercises in addition to lecture.

Greg Notess, MLA, Professor and Reference Librarian, Montana State University Libraries, Bozeman, MT

 

Description:

This course will allow attendees to take a hands-on, in-depth look at the other side of Web 2.0: the new online Web services tools that make sharing, embedding, and collaborating easier online. Explore ways that web-based software can be used within organizations to work together on projects and documents. See how to embed presentations, images, spread-sheets, lists, videos, RSS feeds, documents, and other information from one site into another. Investigate tracking options, comment capabilities and remote hosting. See how other Web-based tools can be used to edit images, manage projects, create flowcharts, build databases, and convert files, all without needing to download and install software.
