  • 1.  Facilitator Needed!

    Posted Jan 29, 2021 02:38 PM
    Hello All!

    Just a few days left to our meeting on February 2nd!

    We have one discussion topic that still needs a facilitator.  That topic is, "Communicating to staff with widely divergent perceptions of risk during COVID-19."

    Please let me know if you're interested in doing that! Facilitating a discussion is very easy. The discussion will last about 35 minutes and you just need to have some questions ready to direct the conversation. I am more than happy to work with you to create questions or for anything else you might need. I always enjoy facilitating our discussions and get a lot out of the experience.

    Please email me directly at led2150@columbia.edu if you would like to volunteer to do that!

    Our other five discussion topics will be:

    The Effects of COVID19 on Technical Services Departments
    Motivating staff from a distance
    The digital divide in technical services
    From COVID-response to the 'new normal': managing TS staff and workflows remotely now & in the future
    Making the most out of in-person work during COVID

    I am looking forward very much to seeing everyone.

    Please have a great weekend and stay safe!

    Lauren
