The Texas State Library is pleased to announce a summer/fall workshop series
based on the Public Library Association's New Planning for Results planning
process. Participants may register online for the workshop at
www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/workshops/plan.
NOTE: The summer/fall series will focus on the major metropolitan areas
(Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex, Houston and San Antonio). We are also
tentatively planning a winter/spring series that will include the Valley,
the Trans-Pecos area, West Texas and the Panhandle, and Austin.
__________________________________________________________
Streamlined Planning is Not an Oxymoron!
Using the New Planning for Results
In this half-day workshop, participants will receive an introduction to the
New Planning for Results planning process developed by the Public Library
Association. This process is community based and reduces the planning
process to 3-4 months. The process identifies the service priorities for the
library that best match the community needs and includes a strong emphasis
on measurement and evaluation.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
*Public library directors
*Department managers
*Other staff with planning responsibilities
OBJECTIVES:
After attending the workshop, participants will:
Be introduced to the new PLA planning process and learn how it differs
from previous planning processes.
Understand that planning simplifies decision making.
Discover the importance of community involvement in the planning
process and the impact of community involvement on the success of
implementation.
Gain an understanding and overview of the steps in the planning
process.
Know how to begin the planning process in their own library.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Jeanette Larson is one of twenty-four trainers endorsed by the Public
Library Assocation to provide training on the new Planning for Results. She
has more than twenty-five years experience in public libraries and is
currently the youth services manager for the Austin Public Library. As
