SUMMARY:2022 Spring Directors Institute
DESCRIPTION:Save the date for the 2022 Spring Directors Institute hosted by NEKLS: Friday\, April 15\, 2022. This is a free event for Northeast Kansas public library directors held virtually and in-person at the NEKLS office. In-person attendance is now full and new registrations will be added to a wait list. The workshops listed below will be available live over Zoom and recorded. \n\nNot Another Library Survey! with visiting facilitator Keith Rocci – 10:00 am (Preregister for Zoom Link)\nData Visualization On A Dime with visiting facilitator Linda Hofschire  – 1:15 pm (Preregister for Zoom Link)\nSchedule for in-person participants\nSchedule for online participants\n\nEvent Registration\nIn-person registration closed. \nNot Another Library Survey! – Keith Rocci\nLibrary surveys are an important part of crafting effective library services. However\, library users are constantly surveyed in all aspects of their lives. How do we get them to complete the survey? How do you get data that is valuable? This discussion will present a step-by-step approach to completing effective community analysis through relationship building and trust. By developing a culture of caring with your users they will be more compelled to be part of your evaluation of library services. Letting them drive the process is a great step toward usage statistics going up! \nKeith is the Distance Education Library Department Head at Pima Community College. He has been in a library leadership role since July\, 2015. He has taught at the undergraduate and graduate level since 2005. Since August\, 2010\, he has been teaching for Emporia State University. He also teaches for the EDU Department at Pima CC. He has written one book (Library Research Strategies\, 2013) and has presented at three national library conferences. (Internet Librarian\, Computers in Libraries and ACRL) \nData Visualization On A Dime – Linda Hofschire\nYou don’t have to be a graphic designer to present your library statistics in a way that effectively communicates value. In this session\, you’ll learn quick and easy tips for displaying your statistics so that they tell a powerful story about your library\, whether your data visualization aspirations consist of adding a few Excel charts to a board report or designing a complex infographic for your website. \nLinda Hofschire has more than 25 years of experience conducting social science research and evaluation and providing training in-person and online. She directs the Research Institute for Public Libraries (RIPL)\, an initiative originally funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to provide data and evaluation training for library staff. She is also the Instructional Designer for the IMLS-funded project Embedding Evaluation in Libraries\, and the Training Coordinator for Infopeople\, the national training arm of the Califa Group. Linda serves as the chair of the Public Library Association’s Measurement\, Evaluation\, and Assessment Committee\, and was named a Library Journal Mover & Shaker in 2017. She is passionate about making data accessible and meaningful to users.

SUMMARY:After-Lunch Course with Andrew Smith
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://kslib.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwod–rqjsuG9enGQe5L8kh078M4ESFjq7D! \nWriting policy for your library can be daunting. The State Library requires it\, but other than that\, what’s the point? You might hear that I don’t want to be limited in what I can do or that we did all that 20 years ago or that everything is working just fine as it is. Why waste time on a pointless exercise? \nHowever\, policy is a vital part of library operations. It not only serves as a guide to what you will do and how\, but it provides protection for the library board\, the library staff\, the patrons and the community. Your policies must be current and suited to your library. One size does not fit all in the library world. \nThis webinar will explain the purpose of policy for your library and offer practical steps for either creating policy if none exists or reviewing old policy to make sure it is still fit for purpose. It will also offer suggestions on how to integrate policy review into the regular work of your library board so that your policy will always be up to date and meet the needs of your library. Helpful resources will also be highlighted. \nAndrew Smith has been a member of the Emporia Public Library board since 2016 and is in his second year as board chair. He is an Associate Professor in the School of Library and Information Management at Emporia State University where he teaches courses in library advocacy\, collection management\, multiple literacies in libraries and genealogy. He has been involved in library policy work for many years and has presented widely on the topic both in Kansas and at national conferences.
