Online Event for Subscribers of NoveList
Submitted by Susan Weinmann on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 11:22amFrom Duncan Smith, Vice-President of NoveList:
I know that many libraries have had to make difficult choices; some have even had to put their core mission – reading -- on the back burner. Like you, I’d like to reinvigorate the library’s role in helping readers discover books that they love. With that in mind, I have put together a talk especially for NoveList customers that I believe will help you do just that.
Please join me for a very special online event on Reaching Readers on May 30, 2012 at 2pm (EST). Space is limited, so please register now.
The topics I’ll be discussing will include:
- Book delivery vs. discovery
- Shifts in how people are using your library
- Three key ways you can strengthen your relationship with your readers
We look forward to having you join us!
Sincerely,
Duncan Smith

Submitted by Susan Weinmann on Tue, 05/15/2012 - 11:59amBrought to you by WebJunction:

Michelle and Melinda will talk about ways to build mutually beneficial business partnerships that result in free media advertising as well as sponsorship for events and services. These marketing techniques are guaranteed to lead to long term development opportunities as well as sustainability.

Understanding Compassion Fatigue in Your Library - Webinar on 5/31
Submitted by Susan Weinmann on Tue, 05/15/2012 - 11:56amA WebJunction Event:
This webinar will help you recognize the symptoms and the situations that may trigger compassion fatigue and understand how it affects you and your working environment.
Understanding Compassion Fatigue in Your Library
This webinar will help you recognize the symptoms and the situations that may trigger compassion fatigue and understand how it affects you and your working environment.
You love your job. You love your library. You love helping your patrons and giving them the extra attention that lets them know you care. But there are days when you’ve given just about all you have to give. At the end of the day you feel drained, or irritated, or both! You may have achieved "compassion fatigue." The term, which is used frequently in medical settings, describes a caregiver’s reaction to chronic stress that results in feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, self-doubt, lack of focus and fatigue. This webinar will help you recognize the symptoms and the situations that may trigger compassion fatigue and understand how it affects you and your working environment. Explore ways to take care of yourself so you can continue to show compassion and give your patrons the care they need.
Presented by: Linda Bruno, trainer and facilitator, www.LindasWorkshops.com, Ocala, Florida
Start time: 2:00 Eastern / 11:00 Pacific (Note: this is a 90 minute session)
