Staff Development

Page history last edited by Shirl 1 yr ago

Some very rough notes from Laura Crossett:

 

Breakout 1

STAFF DEVELOPMENT

 

tech comfort--making it fun

developing new leaders, succession planning

tech necessary for good customer service

training very different groups of librarians

taking local programs statewide

CLiC tutorials--School 101

social networking & staff development

socialization into the profession

 

19 things

 

Idaho--set up Special Projects Library Action Teams (SPLAT)--people in libraries who use the social tools--they hang out on couches at conferences, show people how to use various technologies, now doing an 8 Things

 

prizes! fun! we give prizes for summer reading; why not for staff?

 

get people who aren't the director to organize training

 

staff need to learn tech in order to keep up with patrons, esp. students

digital scavenger hunt--prize is a free registration to state conference--made all the things be tech people should know for their jobs

 

people learn at point of need--how do you create that need?

 

collaborating across the state using social tools

 

little video tapes made at point of need posted to intranet

 

need a face to go with a presentation--engagement goes way up--even a static picture works better than no picture

 

why are workshops an hour long? aim for 20-30 minutes instead

 

using games to train staff
