Catalog local collections
by Michael McCullough 28 Sep '23

28 Sep '23

Hi! Can anyone provide or point me to an example of a library collection catalog that includes the holdings of other organizations, such as a historical society or museum collection? It's long been a dream of mine to create such a resource. I've asked a colleague about simply adding a site location and got a lot of reasons why it wouldn't be a good idea, but I hear that a lot about my ideas. Usually, I remain unconvinced. ;) -- *"It’s a favorite pastime of Americans, and American conservatives especially, to keep watch for various evildoers scheming to seize the public sphere and rob us of our historic liberties. But it’s the private sphere that occupies most of our time on earth."* ― *Sohrab Ahmari, * "Tyranny, Inc.: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty--and What to Do About It" "

Climate Justice Tuesday, October 3, 2023 ◆ 2:00 pm Eastern / 11:00 am Pacific ◆ 90 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/climate-justice.html Climate justice recognizes the disproportional impacts of climate change on the people and places least responsible for the problem: systematically oppressed communities and communities of color. Libraries that approach climate action through the lens of climate justice can accelerate necessary work in communities to ensure all are heard in disaster preparedness and emergency management work. Learn how to think like a 21st century economist and how libraries can help lead the way to a just transition of our communities to strengthen community resilience and livability not just in the aftermath of climate change-driven disasters, but well before they ever happen. Revitalizing Morale: Cultivating a Supportive Library Culture Wednesday, October 11, 2023 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 90 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/revitalizing-morale.html Building on research and insights presented in the webinar, Low Morale in Libraries: Impacts and Countermeasures<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/low-morale-in-libraries.html>, this panel discussion delves deeper into essential facets that foster a healthy and supportive library culture, exploring institutional and individual solutions to countering low morale. Examining how organizational culture, library hierarchies, and management styles affect the workplace experiences of library staff, we’ll explore various strategies for library staff working to navigate power dynamics and advocate for positive personal or organizational change. Recognizing the trauma, stress, and burnout experienced by library staff, we’ll consider how to: * Assertively communicate needs while embracing change, set boundaries to address toxic positivity, and foster a compassionate environment * Explore visionary leadership approaches for inclusive libraries and promote collaboration for library staff at all levels * Gain insights on trauma-informed practices and collective care to help recover from burnout and foster empathy and resilience Join this panel of researchers, library practitioners, and changemakers as they share experiences, research, and practical strategies to help foster a healthier, empowered library environment. Building Community Relationships for Better Library Services Tuesday, October 24, 2023 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 am Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/building-community-relations… Many libraries are increasingly focused on planning library services collaboratively with their communities. Connected Learning, Participatory Design, and Community Led-Libraries are becoming standard practice, but to successfully embark on that work, the first (and ongoing!) thing library staff need to do is build robust and meaningful connections within their communities. In this session, we will explore strategies for finding community partners and building relationships with them with the goal of truly working in collaboration with people they serve. We will discuss strategies for small rural libraries up through large urban systems. You will hear from library staff who have successfully started doing this work in their own communities with partners who serve all ages. You will also learn about the importance of this work and why it needs to be supported by administrators and supervisors.
