Collaborative Planning and Programming for Culturally Diverse  
Communities
http://tinyurl.com/2pesb3

One-hour Audio Conference with Tracy Jones - $85.00


Communities are changing and with that in mind we need to be ready  
and able to provide programs and services that meet these needs.  
Programming for culturally diverse communities can be challenging but  
very rewarding at the same time. How do we consult with community so  
that we can better reflect them in our programs and services? This  
session will introduce you to concepts and strategies that have been  
used to develop culturally specific programs for adults and youth in  
public libraries.

Copyright Issues in Audio and Video Streaming
http://tinyurl.com/yw8aam

One-hour Web Conference with Jean Dryden - $109.95


Rapidly changing technology makes it possible to use audio-visual  
materials in innovative ways, but the application of copyright law in  
the digital environment is not entirely clear. This session provides  
an overview of the particular complexities of applying copyright to  
audio-visual materials (and what is technologically possible) before  
going on to identify the copyright issues that arise in streaming AV  
materials; and discusses ways to address these issues in an ever- 
changing environment.

How to Land Your Ideal Library Position: Winning Interview Tips and  
Techniques
http://tinyurl.com/2k7yeh

One-hour Audio Conference with Robert R. Newlen - $85.00

Part Two: Many job applicants spend hours refining their resumes but  
completely neglect interview preparation.  The employer will use the  
interview to learn as much about you as possible – your experience,  
training, education, accomplishments, and professional activities.

Getting ready for an interview is a strategic process – feeling well  
prepared will greatly increase your confidence level when you arrive  
for the interview.  This seminar will take you step-by-step through  
everything you need to know to prepare for the interview and to sell  
yourself for the job.

Wednesday, Feb 13, 4:00 pm ET, 1:00 pm PT
Media Literacy Through Media Production
http://tinyurl.com/38fgx9

One-hour Web Conference with Melissa Jensen - $109.95

Media Literacy study for elementary and secondary students is  
becoming more prominent in provincial and state curricula documents.  
To develop media literacy skills, students need opportunities to  
view, analyze, and discuss a range of media texts, and relate them to  
their personal experiences. Equally important is the need for  
students to apply their thinking to the creation of media texts using  
available technologies.

In this session, focusing on the creation of media texts, two  
projects will be highlighted. The first one uses stop film animation  
using digital photography and the Window’s program Movie Maker. The  
second project is the creation of READ posters to promote the love of  
reading using Macromedia’s Fireworks program to develop basic photo  
editing skills. Both of these projects meet a range of media literacy  
curriculum expectations.


Thursday, Feb 14, 2:00 pm ET, 11:00 am PT
Second Life, Second Thoughts
http://tinyurl.com/2uvwqq

One-hour Web Conference with Michael Sauers - $109.95

Second Life is currently one of the most talked about of the 3D  
immersive environments on the Web. Libraries around the world have  
banded together to provide in-world services and are learning a lot  
from it. But not everyone is excited and many have questions. This  
presentation will address some of the down-sides of Second Life and  
discuss with the participants just how these problems can be dealt  
with, if at all.

Friday, Feb 15, 1:00 pm ET, 10:00 am PT
The New Manager…First Day…First Week…First Month
  http://tinyurl.com/3dqjug

One-hour Audio Conference with Julie Todaro - $85.00

Dr. Julie B. Todaro has worked in a variety of types of libraries for  
over 30 years including academic, public and school libraries and in  
library education at the University of Michigan, Texas Woman's  
University and the University of Texas at Austin. She is a consultant  
in the areas of management and organizational development,  
information literacy, 21st century librarianship as well as in  
customer service.  Drawing on her extensive experience, Julie will  
present a series of 4 workshops addressing popular topics of  
discussion.  Registered participants will be invited to send  
questions in advance of each workshop, if desired, and she will weave  
the reposes into her presentations.

New managers need sound, practical advice – ideas and strategies they  
can understand and implement quickly. This session will address the  
most important considerations in the critical first weeks of the new  
role.
