After the rain

After the rain

On the call were Maurice Coleman, Jill Hurst-Wahl and a TalkShoe wanderer named Jesse. Maurice and Jill talked about the training topics that are on our minds (e.g., minute pages, screenshots).  We ended by touching on requirements regarding student consumer information.

This was a 36 minute show.

Constraint

On the call were Kate Kosturski (moderator), Paul Signorelli, Henry Mensch (newbie), Angela Paterek, Diane Huckaby, Jules Shore, and Jill Hurst-Wahl.  We talked about the article, How Constraints Can Stimulate Creative Learning Opportunities, which includes a link to a 5-minute video.  Our stories included ideas of creativity in training, improv classes, and more.

By the way,  when we came up with today’s title, Jules chimed in with (from Only the Good Die Young): “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners have much more fun.” When you are faced with a constraint, you need to be able to smile, laugh, and move forward.

It was a good conversation today and we hope you’ll give it a listen.

On the call were Jodie Borgerding (new to the show!), Andrea Snyder, Jill Hurst-Wahl, and Maurice Coleman. We began by talking about library signage and the recommendation of libraries doing a yearly signage audit.  We then moved to talking about the digital face of the library.

You can listen to the episode through Talkshoe.

BTW Even though Paul Signorelli was not on the call, we want to toss him some “love” by sharing the photo we used.

Addendum: Jill sent Henderson County Public Library a Twitter message to tell them about their contact page and they fixed it right away!  Thanks, HCPL.

Sometimes it is worth telling someone (or an institution) what you think is obvious, because it may not actually be obvious.

OwlIn this episode, Andrea Snyder and Maurice Coleman talk about service to rural libraries, and specifically about the Ontario, Wyoming, Wayne and Livingston county (OWWL) libraries in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.

Sites mentioned in this episode include:

The next T is for Training will be in one-month on July 7. (2017).  By the way, if you’re attending the ALA Annual Conference (June 22-27), please look for Maurice there.

Blog MicrophoneAs a follow-up  to this blog post, Kate Kosturski and Jill Hurst-Wahl talked about podcasts they recommend for summer listening (and those long road trips):

Enjoy and “see” you in two weeks!

Spring flowersWith spring weather back again in the East, on the call were Diane Huckaby, Andrea Snyder, Jill Hurst-Wahl, and Maurice Coleman.   Our conversation twas on how to create training (or education) materials that could be reused by others.  The conversation was really rich and fruitful!

We talked briefly about making training materials Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant.

BC celebrates the 4th annual Book DayFive hours of learning each week?  How hard that can be? Also, do we live in an information age? These are the topics Kate Kosturski, Maurice Coleman, and Paul Signorelli discussed.

CabbageAndrea Snyder, Jill Hurst-Wahl (in chat) and Maurice Coleman talked about the Computers in Libraries Conference, as well as rural librarianship (a.k.a. Andrea’s new position).  They talked about library services, staffing, programming and more.

Andrea is now at the Pioneer Library System with offices in Canandaigua, NY.  Part of the service area includes farm country, where cabbages are grown. (Hence the title of the show and photo.)
