Innovation in Libraries Workshop
March 3, 12:00 - 1:30 pm via Zoom
Innovation in libraries is not a new topic, but it is a challenging one due to the many variables that can influence forward movements such as organizational culture, lack of dedicated resources, and confusion about what it really means to innovate. Innovation is not as much about developing the coolest, newest thing, but much more about leadership, fostering change, and understanding stakeholder needs.
This workshop will examine such areas as sustaining a culture of innovation; building an innovation strategy tied to organizational values; moving from experimentation to action; and assessing innovation. Learning outcomes:
- Develop an innovation strategy and goals
- Explore practical activities to implement and assess innovations
- Define and understand the different levels and types of innovation
- Analyze the organizational conditions necessary to initiate and sustain innovation
This session will be facilitated by Cinthya Ippoliti, University Librarian and Director of the Auraria Library at the University of Colorado Denver.
This session will be recorded. To receive a copy of the recording, please register to attend.
This one-hour workshop is open to all UM students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other interested community members.
