Description
RDA is on the horizon. How will you implement it? What are the issues you need to pay attention to? Staffing? Budget? The catalog itself? Will RDA influence the future catalog? What might that future catalog be? This one day symposium examines the issues surrounding implementing RDA and the future catalog. If you're a director, assistant director or department head or anyone interested in the impact of RDA, you don't want to miss this discussion.

Description
Facilitating a reflective, productive discussion is a required skill in many library settings – public programs, forum discussions, book groups, board meetings and more. This workshop combines brief presentations, group discussion, and hands-on practice to introduce participants to the essentials of successful discussion facilitation. Participants will learn different types of questions to pose, receive guidance on handling the responsibilites and challenges of being a facilitator, take turns leading discussions and receive immediate feedback. Participants will leave with concrete facilitation skills that they can immediately put to use for their libraries.
