Re-IMAGEing Ohio’s Libraries: Registration Now Open
The image of Ohio’s public, school, and academic libraries working toward a common goal of collaboration will become a reality on Fri., June 14, at the OCLC Conference Center in northwest Columbus when the OLC, Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) and Ohio Education Library Media Association (OELMA) will present Re-IMAGEing Ohio’s Libraries.
This one-day event will feature programs and experiences intended to improve Ohio’s library workforce, facilitate partnerships, and support initiatives that improve the capacity of librarians and library staff to improve their knowledge and skills. Conference participants will have opportunities to talk with other library staffs outside of their usual networks, learn what other types of libraries are doing, and explore mutual benefits across different types of libraries.
Topics include:
- Keys to successful partnerships
- New ways to use data and analysis
- Being intentional about sharing patrons
- Connecting to new people and resources
- How to create a culture of curiosity
- How to be heard in a noisy business world
Registration is only $45 per person thanks to a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded by the State Library of Ohio. The agenda, speaker information, and learning outcomes are available on the OLC website.
