Today's Topics: 1. Consider Hosting an ALCTS E-Forum! (Elaine Franco)
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Have you ever wanted to lead a conversation with colleagues from near and far about professional development topics, without leaving the comfort of your office? You can do this by hosting an ALCTS E-Forum! E-Forums are two-day, moderated, electronic discussion forums that provide an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest on an ALCTS e-mail listserv. These discussions are free of charge and available to anyone who wishes to subscribe to the listserv. They occur approximately once a month. We are currently seeking discussion leaders (hosts) for e-Forums starting in September of 2016 and continuing through the fall. Hosts lead the e-mail discussion and provide summaries of what is discussed. Here is the E-Forum website, for examples: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum Additionally, some potential topics of interest including the following: * Best practices for getting the most from your ILS * E-resource licensing * Managing gifts in the library * Digitizing paper-based objects, current best practices in describing digital collections, and preservation issues that arise when digitizing paper-based collections * The future of public libraries and printed books * How libraries handle batch processing of records, including a summary of tools such as MarcEdit, how they're used, and what librarians are doing to train themselves to use these tools * Visualizing workflows and other innovative approaches to workflows If you are interested in hosting an e-Forum or have any questions, please contact [email protected]<mailto:[email protected] > .
