Register Now for “Digital Copyright” with Mary Minow

March 22, 2011 at 8:12 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , ,

*Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science Continuing Education*

* Digital Copyright*

Online (asynchronous)

$250 (Simmons GSLIS Alumni Price $200)
April 1 – April 30, 2011
PDPs: 15

This four-week workshop gives students a hands-on, nonacademic view of copyright. Bring your own real-life scenarios for class discussion. Who owns the works I create? When can I use text, images and music created by others? Learn how to determine if an item is in the public domain. If it is not, learn how to determine if the library/archive or another user exception in copyright law allows your use. If the user exceptions don’t fit your need, learn how to make a good faith Fair Use evaluation. Finally, learn some tips about getting permission to use others’ works.

Assignments include: registering for a copyright, creating a creative commons license for a work you’ve created, searching the Copyright Clearance Center (copyright.com) for permissions and designating a copyright agent with the Copyright Office (optional).

Threaded discussions with classmates and the instructor will be the primary means of teaching.

Instructor: Mary Minow, J.D., A.M.L.S. is a Library Law consultant at librarylaw.com.

Register Now for “Marketing Your Library” online workshop with Rebecca Metzger (March 1-31, 2011)

February 8, 2011 at 4:29 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

via ili-l

Marketing Your Library

Location: Online
$250 (Simmons GSLIS Alumni Price $200)
March 1 – March 31, 2011 – PDPs: 15

What exactly is marketing and what does your library need to do it right? Money? A marketing plan? A dedicated job position? No, no, and no! Marketing does not have to eat up your budget (sometimes, it even saves money); you don’t have to devote an entire job position to it; and you certainly don’t need a lengthy marketing plan. Marketing is the process of communicating with users and potential users to determine their needs; designing services to meet those needs; and informing users about your services. This workshop will introduce students to basic marketing definitions and concepts, but the main focus will be on developing a user-centered approach to marketing that can be customized to students’ individual libraries. The class will draw on marketing lessons learned from outside the library world as well as proven marketing successes in public, academic, and special libraries (case studies will be presented on a weekly basis).

In this workshop, participants will:

  • Learn the basics of the marketing cycle
  • Apply concepts of product lines and market segmentation to their own libraries
  • Discover various techniques for gathering information about library users
  • Identify metrics to tell a compelling story about the impact of your library
  • Explore library marketing trends, such as word-of-mouth marketing, value studies, design thinking, and ethnographic studies
  • Receive peer and instructor feedback on a promotional idea or plan

“Good pace, great resources that can be taken away and referenced later, great feedback from workshop leader.” –student, 2010 “Marketing Your Library” workshop

Rebecca Metzger: Rebecca Metzger is a Reference and Instruction Librarian at Lafayette College’s Skillman Library in Easton, PA. In addition to regular reference and instruction duties, Rebecca heads Skillman Library’s outreach efforts. She runs a student advisory board, organizes orientations and open houses for students and parents, produces a newsletter for faculty, and promotes library services to students through online and offline communications. On campus, she is a faculty advisor to Hillel Society, an academic advisor, and serves on faculty committees. Off campus, she was recently chair of ACRL’s Instruction Section’s Management and Leadership Committee. She has been published in Library Journal and NMRT Footnotes and was selected to participate in ACRL’s Immersion 2008 program and ALA’s Emerging Leaders Program in 2009. Rebecca graduated from Simmons GSLIS in January 2006. Before becoming a librarian, Rebecca Metzger was a marketing and public relations specialist for art museums, arts organizations, and individual artists.

Simmons GSLIS CE: Career-Savvy Information Professional

October 19, 2009 at 6:25 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

via LIBREF_L

Simmons GSLIS Continuing Education presents a career workshop with Kelly Jo Woodside and Cheryl Kohen:

*The Career-Savvy Information Professional*
Online: November 2009
SPECIAL OFFER for all registrants – $85
PDPs: 15

Are you looking to get back into the library field and need some help getting up to date on all the new skills and trends? Are you interested in exploring different kinds of library careers, or looking to move beyond traditional library jobs? Have you recently entered the job market and are eager to learn ways you can stand out from the many other job applicants? Or would you just like to learn how to become a savvy career professional? If so, or if you’d just like to be sure your skills are keeping up with new developments in the LIS field, then this workshop is for you.

As a participant in this workshop, you will build a personal career plan. First, learn how to assess your current skills and compare them with expectations in today’s LIS job market; next, identify the transferable skills you bring to a desired position; and finally, create a plan to address any potential gaps.

Workshop topics will include career opportunities within all types of libraries, as well as alternatives to traditional library jobs. We will cover online career research tools and show ways you can structure and organize your career search process. We will also help you develop individualized strategies for updating your resume and new networking techniques to advance your career search, such as conducting effective informational interviews, researching and reaching out to employers, and broadening your professional network. Lastly, you will find out about a broad array of LIS professional development resources, including an optional workshop module that will help you develop and practice your skills with web 2.0 technologies. A brief reading list (optional) will be available prior to the workshop.

Register Now for “Keeping Up With New Technologies”

October 16, 2009 at 8:59 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

via LIBREF_L

*Simmons GSLIS Continuing Education*

*Keeping Up With New Technologies, While Keeping Your Sanity*

November 1 – 30, 2009
Online
$250 (Simmons GSLIS Alumni price $200)

How often do you hear about a new web tool, or a “tech” development and you don’t have any idea what it’s about? Do you sometimes wish you knew a little more about what some of the tools do, and why you should care? This workshop will provide some basic information on recent developments in the “techie” world of web tools, and how to incorporate them into your existing work. Topics will include creating your own RSS feeds for sharing information, understanding mashups, and strategies for keeping up in this ever-changing environment. Students will learn about the topics through readings, online discussions and practical application of tools, and will complete the workshop with a realistic plan for keeping up to date with new developments in libraries and beyond. No prior technological experience necessary — just a willingness to learn!

Instructor: Rebekah Kilzer is currently the Emerging Technologies Librarian at Drexel University Libraries where she works with library staff to discover, research and implement methods for fruitful and effective interactions with students and faculty. Her background in Systems and Technical Services provides a well-rounded perspective on library work. She is also an adjunct instructor at Drexel University’s iSchool, teaching in the MS/LIS program; rebekah@drexel.edu
