Making The Most of The Cloud (Nebraska Library Commission)

Cloud computing can be confusing - the number and types of services that are available through "the cloud" are growing by the day. Robin Hastings, author of Making the Most of the Cloud: How to Choose and Implement the Best Services for Your Library, takes you through some of the more popular cloud services in libraries and breaks down what you need to know to pick the best one for your library. She will cover services that can be accessed through the cloud (ILS, email, photo editing and more) and give tips on what to consider when making decisions about those services (security and training, specifically).

Attendees at this webinar will learn about ways in which cross-sector collaboration can positively influence social and environmental factors that impact community health.

Little Old Ladies and Rock Star Librarians: Genderizing the Librarian Stereotype (Georgia Library Association)

She will discuss how the stereotyping of librarianship not only harms the profession with regards to status and pay equity, but is also detrimental to both genders.
