Using Evaluation Results to Communicate Your Value - Part 2 Needs  
Assessment
http://tinyurl.com/4vusn4

1-hour Web Conference with Rosalind F. Dudden - $109.95

Part 2 in a 4-part series.  Learn how traditional and innovative  
measures can be gathered and integrated to explain your library to its  
customers and to those that fund it. Learn the steps in conducting a  
needs assessment and why understanding your customer is so important  
today. Review the Logic Model and its use for outcomes measurement.  
Learn how to use outcomes studies from the literature to discuss your  
library. This session, part 2 of a series, will discuss how to conduct  
a needs assessment and how to use the results for planning.  Key Topics:
             The difference between needs assessments and customer

eLearning for Librarians: An Ideas Playground
http://tinyurl.com/3pbmqy

1-hour Web Conference with Cory Laverty - $109.95

E-learning is defined as the facilitation of learning through on-line  
tools and content. Many of us have created virtual library modules on  
different topics such as stages in the research process, overviews of  
information tools in a specific discipline, or guides on searching  
individual databases. This session will explore an e-learning wiki  
sponsored by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries where  
librarians can share their knowledge. What learning principles  
underpin good on-line library instruction? What does interactivity  
look like? What are some examples of exemplary library tutorials? You  
are invited to contribute your e-learning tips and discuss your  
library tutorials in this wiki so we can build on our collective  
experience.

Pro-active Relationship Building: Reaching Out to Your Academic  
Faculty Clients
http://tinyurl.com/53y924

1-hour Audio Conference with Joan Giannone - $85.00

One key advantage academic libraries maintain over most of the  
competing information sources is the ability of knowledgeable staff  
members to develop valuable relationships with their faculty clients.  
The reference librarian is available to answer questions, provide  
reading list guidance, assist in research, help locate material, and  
encourage the students and faculty to keep the library and librarians  
at the forefront of their research. But unless library staff members  
reach out to promote or explain their value, all of this assistance  
may be under utilized by, or even unknown to, faculty clients. This  
audio session is designed to highlight ways in which academic  
librarians can use persuasive communication strategies to solidify and  
even expand their roles in today’s new higher educational environment  
through strategic partnerships, collaborative relationships and  
mutually beneficial alliances. These activities will update or change  
their images, share their expertise, and promote their services.
