BETTER DESIGN AND
DELIVERY OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION (4 hours)
Pat Wagner
Course
Description:
Academic
education can be limited to memorizing
facts, conducting abstract research, and writing
papers. Professional education requires that students apply the
information in
their workplaces and change their
own behavior. Improving the quality of formal and informal education
means understanding and
implementing best practices in adult education. Participants will
improve the effectiveness of formal (classroom)
and informal education (workplace instruction
and supervision) with employees, co-workers, students, and library
users.
- How
do mature adults learn differently from children and young adults.
- How
to design short and effective classes using timed scripts.
- How
to improve existing classes.
- Why
memorization is not the issue and how to help students create
“cheat sheets”
instead.
- How
to apply adult education values such as collaboration and participation
to
formal and
informal learning programs.
- Tips
for dealing with technology training issues.

STRATEGIC
PLANNING

No
matter how small, under-financed, or under-staffed

process.

- How
to gather data and opinions.
- How
to simplify the structure of a strategic plan.
- How
to use "bullets" to write a strategic plan.

KNOWLEGE
TRANSFER:
MOVING FROM BEST EVIDENCE TO BEST PRACTICE (4 hours)
Ellen Detlefsen
Course description:
Discovering
or generating new knowledge has
been a major goal to improve health and well being, and library
services and staffing.
Just as important, or maybe even more important, is the ability to take
this
new knowledge and move it into practice. This process has many names
including
knowledge translation or transfer, diffusion of innovation, turning
research
into practice, etc. Participants will learn the basics and theory
behind
knowledge translation and what enhances effective and timely adoption
of new
knowledge. They will also have opportunity to plan for changes in their
own
setting and situation. This course is designed to be a true workshop
with substantial participant input. Ann McKibbon developed
and
first taught this course at the 2009 MLA Annual Meeting as a follow-up
to her very successful NAHSL 2008 class.

STATISTICS AND USING THEM AS A DECISION-MAKING TOOL (4 hours)

libraries. However, the
usage data
we receive varies in content, format, frequency and methods

understand how COUNTER (Counting
Online
Usage Statistics of
Networked
Electronic Resources) usage statistics reports provided by publishers
and vendors can be used as
a decision-making tool.
The workshop will end with a presentation on how
to manipulate the data using a spreadsheet, which participants can use
for
cost-per-use analysis and
return-on-investment.
