Know More about Decluttering & Organizing

Originally presented January 31, 2014 with Jean Anderson & Shawn Brommer, SCLS presenting.

Librarians are great at organizing our collections. What about our offices? Our files - both print and electronic? Jean & shawn will share organizing and decluttering tips to start off 2014 clutter-free.

Recording

 March's episode is scheduled for March 28 at 9 a.m. and we'll be talking about Revitalizing your Friends Groups. Register here!

Mapping Wisconsin Communities

Interested in GIS (Geographic Information Systems)?  Check out Mapping Wisconsin Communities, a workshop being offered by New Urban Research.  These one day programs are being held in Madison on April 14 and 15th at the UW Madison Campus.  Topics for the day include: Creating Thematic Maps; Address Mapping, and Download Map Census & American Community Survey data.  Registration fee is $495 (CE Grant funds may be used towards the fee).

SirsiDynix Institute

Good Afternoon!

The SirsiDynix Institute offers one hour, free, professional development seminars. Upcoming topics include: social bookmarking, updating your resume, and roving reference services.  Attend these seminars right from your desk - even on LINK machines.  Check with Automation staff at least ONE WEEK prior to the program to ensure your computer meets the minimum requirements for attending the session.  Registration with SirsiDynix is required to attend. 

I've attended a couple of these seminars and they've been very interesting.  If you can't attend in person, the seminars are archived on the SirsiDynix web site so you can view them after the program airs.

Welcome

Welcome to the launch of SCLS "Know More" Continuing Education blog.  My name is Jean and I'll be your guide ... 

My goal with this blog is to bring you current CE opportunities from SCLS and beyond.  I'll include new additions to the SCLS Professional Collection, information about courses, seminars, and workshops, and much more. 

I'll try not to inundate you with blog postings, but will include items that I think will be of interest and use to SCLS member library staff.  If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment.
