Cultivating a Culture of Learning in the Library

Another great webinar from WebJunction. And what a great presenter: Lori Reed, Training Specialist for the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County. Lori and I met through Social Networking and attending webinars where we "found" each other. I have learned so much from her - now you can too!

Here are the details:

"Cultivating a Culture of Learning in the Library
6/10/08 11 AM - 12 PM PT / 2 - 3 PM ET

How much time does your library spend on "training?" Statistics show that most learning takes place on the job or with a coworker, yet as trainers we spend an inordinate amount of time preparing for and delivering classroom training. In this webinar you will learn why you need to get your staff out of the classroom and instead focus on creating a culture of learning in your library.

We will explore:

* The differences between training and learning
* The benefits to libraries for creating a culture of learning
* The key elements of a learning organization
* Tips for creating a culture of learning in any size library"

I unfortunately will have to listen to the archive as I'll be presenting Web2.0 for Libraries at a Bloomin' Ideas workshop in Williamsport PA that day sponsored by PA Commonwealth Libraries.
