Over 50% of physicians, and 94% of medical students use Wikipedia to find medical information on the internet.* It may be popular but library staff want to know how reliable it is and how to assess quality on behalf of their patrons. The National Network of Librarians of Medicine (NNLM) supports strengthening the ability of public libraries nationwide to find reliable and authoritative medical and health information online for information seekers. Hear how Liz Waltman from the NNLM connects with WikiProject Medicine, an organization of volunteers dedicated to developing, maintaining, and promoting accurate medical information on Wikipedia. Learn about the upcoming online training program Wikipedia + Libraries: Health and Medical Information that will empower you to confidently guide your patrons to reliable resources on the internet. The free four-week course will be offered in the fall of 2019.

A robust technology plan can help you create an environment that truly meets the needs of the community your library serves. The prospect of technology planning can seem overwhelming and time-consuming, especially in an already short-staffed library. This webinar will help libraries create a framework for their technology planning and introduce the tools and decisions that need to be incorporated into a working plan. Join us to learn how to successfully develop and implement a practical technology plan that can help move your library and community forward. Presented by: Diana Silveira, librarian, president of Novare Library Services, and author of Library Technology Planning for Today and Tomorrow

Don't miss the opportunity to learn about Conversation Cafes - registration closes Tuesday!
by Jan Davidson 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

Sorry for cross-posting; please feel free to share with any Michigan or Indiana library staff! Community Engagement is becoming increasingly important as libraries look to remain relevant in changing times. Whether big or small, rural or urban, libraries have become centers for dialogue on important issues, and are often seen as neutral, safe spaces for community members to share their voice. Conversation Cafés are open, hosted conversations where people gather to make sense of our world. At a Conversation Café there is nothing to join, no homework, no agenda; just a simple process that helps to shift us from small talk to BIG talk, conversations that matter. With training, libraries can run this kind of dialogue using minimal resources, which makes it ideal for libraries of all sizes. This workshop will be led by facilitators from the National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD), a network of more than 700 innovators who bring people together across divides to discuss, decide, and take action together effectively on today's toughest issues, and the steward of Conversation Café. Brought to you by MCLS<https://www.mcls.org/> and the Library of Michigan<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/> (with funds from IMLS<https://www.imls.gov/>) all interested staff from Michigan libraries can participate in a cohort at one of three locations around the state for just $40, including lunch! After a day of hands-on learning, online support and coaching will be available to assist you in implementing what you've learned. We hope you'll take advantage of this incredible, affordable opportunity. You can read more and register here<https://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/conversation-cafe/>, but hurry! Registration is closing on Tuesday, July 30! This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services<https://www.imls.gov/>. Additional funding is provided by the State of Michigan<https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/>. ********************** Jan Davidson Project Manager Engagement, Consulting, and Training Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) 517-492-3811 / toll-free 800-530-9019 x111 davidsonj(a)mcls.org<mailto:davidsonj@mcls.org> [facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/mcls.org> [twitter] <https://twitter.com/mclsorg> [square-logo-1 (002)] <http://www.mcls.org/>
