Developing the Kept-On Workforce: A Critical Talent Strategy
(Training Magazine)

January 12, 1:00pm EST.

Kept-on workers know they're talented and they know they're the future of the organization. Yet those valuable employees are ready to move on from an organization in transition unless they have good reasons to stay. They understand the reality of the contemporary employee-employer relationship, yet they're eager to sharpen their skills and hone their resumes to retool their careers. The kept-on workforce expects satisfying work, exciting growth, development opportunities, and on-going dialogue about their careers and contributions. Yet in trying times, few managers and leaders are focused on the valuable work of people development.

Webinars for the Large Enterprise (Adobe)

January 14, 1:00pm EST.

Join Ken Molay, president of Webinar Success, in a discussion of webinars and web conferencing as an enterprise-wide business asset. Your large enterprise has requirements and opportunities that are fundamentally different from the needs of small businesses and individuals. Find out how to plan for enterprise use of web conferencing technology and learn how to maximize the benefit of using web conferencing throughout your entire organization. Too often, webinars are viewed as departmental tools, purchased and managed in piecemeal fashion by different groups in your company. This can lessen the value and cost benefits you can gain by centralizing control of a single solution for all employees. Learn:
  • Ways to leverage technology for different business applications
  • What licensing models are common and how they can affect ongoing operating costs
  • Options for integrating with third-party tools and other enterprise applications
You will have the opportunity to ask questions related to your own company's concerns and priorities. The content is valuable for enterprise managers, executives, and strategists involved in information technology, training, communications, marketing, sales, or operations.

    Making the Best of a Shrinking Budget: Creative Practices in a New Economy (College of DuPage)

    January 29, 12 noon EST.

    Costs rise while budgets and our buying power shrink. And if we want to innovate, the incorporation of new formats and technologies taxes our budgets even further. Librarians, traditionally used to budgets with modest or no growth, now face steep cuts.

    In the face of insufficient funding, libraries reduce hours, cut subscriptions, step up their resource sharing efforts, engage in consortial buys, outsource where possible, use staff more creatively, deal more aggressively with vendors, boost fundraising efforts, mount advocacy campaigns, seek open source solutions, seek input from focus groups to prioritize services, and even merge with other libraries.

    Writing a Library Behavior Code

    • A teen in the library is bothering other library users.
    • A woman is breastfeeding her baby in the children's room.
    • A man asks for help looking up H1N1, says he has it and then sneezes loudly.

    Are these behaviors prohibited by the library's code of conduct? If so, what can library staff legally do to address the situation?

    This webinar will benefit participants by helping them draft legally enforceable behavior codes. It offers guidance on reasonable behavior rules, distinguished from restrictions on user's free speech rights. What type of notice must the library give its users about its behavior policies? When is an appeals process required, and what should it entail?

    The webinar also looks at the emerging issue of library user behavior at library spaces online in chat, text, blog comments as well as third party spaces like library myspace and flickr pages.

    The APLU-Sloan National Commission on Online Learning conducted an extensive benchmarking study over a 15-month period in 2008–2009 designed to:

    (1) identify key factors that contribute to successful, strategic online learning initiatives;

    (2) gain a better understanding of faculty attitudes toward online learning and how those attitudes might impact institutional efforts to initiate and grow online programs.

    The benchmarking study included interviews with more than 230 senior administrators, faculty, and students at 45 campuses across the country and a national web-based survey of faculty that generated almost 11,000 responses from faculty at 69 campuses. The benchmarking study is the largest study of this type regarding online learning yet conducted.

    OCLC Hosts Omeka Webinar

    OCLC TAI CHI Series: Omeka Webinar

    Tuesday, December 8, 1:00pm EST.

    Omeka is a free and open source collections-based, Web-based platform for scholars, librarians, archivists, museum professionals, educators and cultural enthusiasts.

    Until now, scholars and cultural heritage professionals looking to publish collections-based research and online exhibitions required either extensive technical skills or considerable funding for outside vendors. By making standards-based, serious online publishing easy, Omeka puts the power and reach of the Web in the hands of academics and cultural professionals themselves.

    Omeka features a "five-minute setup" that makes launching an online exhibition as easy as launching a blog. Designed with non-IT specialists in mind, it allows users to focus on content and interpretation rather than programming. It brings Web 2.0 technologies and approaches to academic and cultural Web sites to foster user interaction and participation. It also makes top-shelf design easy with a simple and flexible operating system. Omeka's robust open-source developer and user communities underwrite its stability and sustainability.

    In this webinar, Sheila Brennan, Omeka End User Outreach Coordinator and Senior Digital History Associate at the Center for History and New Media (CHNM), will provide an overview of Omeka. Dave Lester, Omeka Developer Outreach Coordinator and Developer at CHNM, will provide more technical aspects of the Omeka software.
