  • Supervision without Micromanagement for Medical Librarians
    Supervision is about eliciting the best from the people who work for you and with you, while achieving the goals of your medical library’s strategic plan. Having to balance the need to oversee both medical library professionals and associates all unique individuals with ensuring that work is completed within accepted parameters is one of the most challenging roles in any workplace. Topics include why supervision is difficult even for competent and experienced professionals, how administrators can create better work environments, the life cycle of an employee from recruitment to departure, the need for documentation, mistakes supervisors make, the use and misuse of positive reinforcement, using assignments and setting career goals, and special situations, such as working with family, friends, students, and inherited problem employees. The class features downloads and “real-life” exercises.

  • Strategic Planning: The Five Minute Introduction for Medical Librarians
    Strategic planning is about inventing a new future for your medical library and creating a written plan for coordinating the people and the resources to get there. So how did such a productive activity become as dreaded as root canals and tax audits? The good news: once you remove the organizational jargon, the process can easily be describe in five steps, in five minutes. We take a little longer, but keep it simple, practical, and doable. Topics include: creating a team, a destination and a contract, understanding the five steps: input, leadership, management, tasks (tactics), and feedback, communicating with stakeholders, streamlining the mission and vision process, project management and benchmarks, applying the strategic plan in day-to-day operations, evaluating success, typical mistakes, and what you can do if you have only four hours to plan. Seriously!

MLA Releases Web-based Health Information Literacy Tutorial

July 1, 2009 at 7:43 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

via MLA site

Now available: the health information literacy tutorial “Prescription for Information: Addressing Health Information Literacy!” Developed by Gail Kouame, Consumer Health Coordinator, National Network of Libraries of Medicine Pacific Northwest Region, for MLA’s Health Information Literacy (HIL) Research Project, the tutorial is for health care providers and emphasizes the importance of health literacy and the challenges patients face in understanding medical terminology. It also helps participants recognize the impact that low health literacy has on patient care and learn about health information resources and strategies available to them and their patients. The tutorial also describes health literacy services provided by medical librarians. Based upon the health information literacy curriculum, “Putting Information into Health Literacy,” developed by Sabrina Kurtz-Rossi for the MLA HIL project, the tutorial is free, but requires registration.

MLA Approved CE Web-based Courses Tuition adjusted

April 13, 2009 at 6:15 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

via LIBREF-L

Dear Colleagues,
Several people have asked me about making my MLA approved CE Web-based courses more affordable this year because of economic conditions.  To that end I’ve reduced the tuition on the longest courses – they were $225 but now I’ve returned them to their 2007 level at $175.  I hope this helps you get the training you want.
Yours,
Diane
