NMRT: New Members Roundtable

About NMRT

The New Members Round Table (NMRT) provides a place for those members of the American Library Association (ALA) who are new to the library profession, new to ALA, or new to both. NMRT brings together people from all types and sizes of libraries and information centers, serving their diverse needs and interests in three significant ways:

  • NMRT is a Gateway to the Profession.

Through professional and career development programs, professional development grants and scholarships, and contacts with more experiences librarians (on both a professional and social level), NMRT serves as a gateway for new members entering the library profession.

  • NMRT is a Pathfinder through the Maze of ALA.

With its 50,000-plus members and a bureaucracy to match, the American Library Association can easily overwhelm its new members. Through conference orientation programs, publications, and other pathfinding aids, NMRT helps its members take full advantage of all that ALA has to offer.

  • NMRT is a Stepping-Stone to Higher Places.

Membership in NMRT is a first step toward greater involvement within ALA. On NMRT committees, new members can quickly gain positions of responsibility that can help them to achieve similar positions in other ALA groups.

Presented by Pat Wagner

What do you want for your library workplace?

  • New employees and longtimers meshing quickly into productive teams, rather than embroiled in factions and feuds?
  • Compliments about respectful behavior among library staff and users, rather than unending lists of complaints?
  • And for yourself, a place where you can be productive and treated with civility?

Learn why most of the new models of intergenerational conflict distort and even hide the causes of miscommunication and stress, and more importantly, practical steps you and your colleagues can take to improve your own changing environments.

  • What can you do, whether or not you are in charge, to help new and old employees adjust to the "perfect storm" of changing library user expectations, shrinking resources, new demographics and rapidly morphing technology?
  • How can your library use different viewpoints of employees to improve its strategic success— achieving its new missions and values?

Participants will be better able to evaluate and heal conflicts, so that their libraries are workplaces where people treat each other well and the work gets done. The goal? Your library stays on course: relevant to the changing future of the people it serves.
