Brick & Click
What should we present at Brick & Click? There's no reason Dykes Library shouldn't be represented this year. I dare you to come up with a proposal idea.

Organizational Storytelling for Librarians: Using Free webinar: Stories for Leadership, Community, and Advocacy
Start your new year off right with a free webinar!
WebJunction is hosting the webinar "Organizational Storytelling for Librarians: Using Stories for Leadership, Community, and Advocacy" January 10 at 1 p.m.
More information can be found here. Follow the link to register for this free one-hour session.
Here's the description from WebJunction:
"Join us for this webinar to learn about the process of leading and managing through organizational storytelling. Librarians can use personal stories within the organization for leadership (tell them who you are and why you are here), team building (sharing your vision effectively, rediscovering and honoring the mission of the organization), and moving through change (honoring the past as you move toward the future; listening to others, communicating your goals through story). Learn how to "retool" storytelling with new concepts of organizational storytelling gleaned from business and other sectors, with specific examples and powerful tools to improve library communication and advocacy. Also hear effective library stories and learn tactics shared by "story" expert Robert McKee who uses screenwriting methods to bring truth and tension to storytelling. In this webinar, co-sponsored by ALA TechSource and WebJunction, hear how libraries tell their story to strengthen organizations, build community and to amplify the value they bring to their communities."
