[Scla-list] Revitalizing the Library Experience - Infopeople.org -FREE webinar

[Curtis Rogers]

Information has become an off-shored commodity. Google handles more
questions in a second than a reference librarian will answer in a
career. Social gatherings have moved to online networks. Why come to a
library? For the experience! If your members still experience your
library the way they did in the 1990s (1950s?), perhaps it's time to
rethink and revitalize. 

In this webinar, library consultants Joan Frye Williams and George
Needham will reprise their popular presentation from this year's ASCLA
President's Program. They'll describe new ways to present your services
to the world. By the end of this webinar, you will: 

*	Understand the difference between passive and active library
experiences, and how to make each work in your favor;
*	Know what makes an environment inspiring to independent
learners;
*	Learn several ways to "layer" library services for increased
impact;
*	See how you can plan library services around life's predictable
passages.

As always, George and Joan will challenge you to rethink how you do
business, turning some old stereotypes on their ears while refreshing
our notions as well as our services. The tips and techniques covered
here won't necessarily cost more money, but they will help make your
work more valuable and more fun.
