ALA 2011 Annual Conference Preliminary - (Page 116)

PLA What the Library Did for Romance Few communities of fiction readers are as active online as romance readers, and librarians can learn from the romance community to entice customers of all types. Sarah will explain how she has created a large, active online community and Jennifer will discuss involving an existing community of readers to engage library customers. By using creative and inexpensive ideas, such as a unique online contest that challenged people’s creativity and library humor, the potential for bringing readers together is endless, both in the virtual and physical space. Track: User Services Subtrack: Best Practices & Programming Speakers: Jennifer Lohmann, Southwest Regional Library, Adult Services Manager; Sarah Wendell, SBTB LLC, Managing Partner PLA PLA Early Literacy Model Magic Whether you have already implemented projects using Every Child Ready to Read at your library® or other early literacy programs or if you are just starting out, everyone from front line staff to youth services administrators to library directors/trustees can benefit from the experience of small, medium, and large libraries that have used different early literacy models to meet the needs of families. Presenters share research-based approaches/techniques that can be implemented anywhere. Track: Children and Young Adults Subtrack: Administration and Leadership Speakers: Stephanie Bailey-White, Idaho Commission for Libraries; Barbara Brand, Johnson County Library, Youth Services Manager; Saroj Ghoting, Early Childhood Literacy Consultant; Kathy Shahbodaghi, Columbus Metropolitan Library System, Public Services Division Administrator, Youth & Teen Services Define, Align, Empower: Developing a Coordinated Volunteer Program Libraries and volunteers are a time-honored partnership, but the combination often creates unanticipated challenges and additional workload for staff. As budgets shrink and demands for library service increase, gaining reliable results from your volunteer programs becomes even more essential. Learn how the King County Library System approached the challenges of identifying and meeting staff and volunteer needs, standardizing the operational and supervisory factors involved, and establishing meaningful recognition for service. Track: Human Resources and Staff Development Speakers: Julie Brand, King County Library System, Community Relations and Marketing Director; Teresa Claypool, King County Library System, Volunteer Services Coordinator; Peter Cole, Fairwood Library, Reference Librarian, Volunteer Liaison; Louis Mendoza, United Way of King County, Volunteer Initiatives Manager RUSA – CODES, RUSA - STARS What Does Cooperation in Libraries Mean? Tools and Pitfalls in Creating Successful Resource Sharing and Collections Agreements Most libraries are involved in cooperative projects on a daily basis. These vary from resource sharing agreements to shared purchases and innovative collections projects. Some are informal or proof of concept pilots. Others have long term goals requiring formal documents, policies, oversight and staff. Panelists will offer best practices and case studies to explore successful strategies and highlight potential pitfalls. Questions such as cost sharing, necessity of legal agreements, staffing and keeping the cooperation alive will be discussed. www.alaannual.org ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION 2011 PRELIMINARY PROGRAM 116  http://www.alaannual.org
