Niche Academy presents: A NEW FRONTIER - SETTING YOUR LIBRARY UP FOR REMOTE WORK SUCCESS
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

A NEW FRONTIER - SETTING YOUR LIBRARY UP FOR REMOTE WORK SUCCESS Wed June 22 at 2:00 pm US Eastern, 11:00 am US Pacific For many professions, working remotely is standard practice. For librarians, it is often seen as a wild and forbidden frontier. While we know that librarians are able to step outside the traditional library space, and into the comfort of an at-home office, or a sandy somewhere else, there needs to be productive - and sometimes difficult - conversations that lay the foundation for success. Join author and librarian Molly Virello as she discusses how librarians can lay the framework for successful remote work in a library setting. The focus of this webinar will be about the conversations library staff, managers, and other library leadership should have (or at least keep in mind) in order to create library-specific remote work policies, including laying out expectations, term limits, and criteria in order to facilitate working outside of traditional library spaces. These conversations can bring remote work that much closer for librarians, ranging in time from a few hours to a few months. If you're interested but not able to attend the live webinar, go ahead and register. We'll send a recording to all registrants after the fact.

Program Recommendation
by Matthew Day 07 Jun '22

Fellow Programmers I would like to recommend Larry Martin's WW2 interviews with the Greatest Generation. I have hosted his programs several times and they never fail to move the viewer. With the WW2 vets dying out his interviews are all the more poignant and all the more important as a firsthand record of the greatest cataclysm of the 20th century. His website below will give you a better sense of what his prorgrams are like Best regards Matt Larry Martin batt.chief(a)yahoo.com www.lmww2.com -- Matthew Day Head Librarian, Adult Services Dept.
