Digitizing libraries’ local history materials is important for preservation purposes and as a means to make the materials more discoverable and accessible. Digitized versions of materials can be made available easily to researchers, students, and anyone with an interest in local history through websites like Recollection Wisconsin and the Digital Public Library of America. This session will include information on how digitization projects can benefit the library and its patrons, general digitization project workflows and ideas for encouraging use of digital collections, as well as an overview of digitization resources available to SCLS members.

Originally presented June 7, 2018 with Dr. Steve Albrecht presenting
Patrons who visit your library under the influence of drugs or alcohol (or worse, both) can range in their behavior from no problems to causing problems. They can be cyclical - cooperative one moment, then raging the next. Stimulant drug users -taking meth and crack cocaine - are particularly difficult, since they often show signs of paranoia and even schizophrenia. Heroin users are now shooting up in library restrooms an even in the stacks at an alarming rate. Some library staffers have been trained to give Narcan to overdosed patrons, as they wait for the paramedics to arrive. Alcohol consumption in Wisconsin is higher than in any other state. Patrons under the influence of alcohol can be cyclical in their behavior; compliant one minute and combative the next. What do we do about all of this, to keep staff and the facilities safe? This webinar with Dr. Steve Albrecht answers these questions. You’ll learn what to do and not do when in contact with drug or alcohol-using patrons, when to call police and/or the paramedics, and how to stay safe around drug paraphernalia.
Dr. Steve Albrecht teaches library security workshops around the country. His ALA book, Library Security, was published in 2015. He worked for the San Diego Police Department for 15 years and is a member of the California Narcotics Officers Association.

Breaking Boundaries: Serving Teens and Tweens with Chris Baker, Portage Public Library
Slides
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to serving teens and tweens - every teen & tween is unique and every community has specific assets, needs, and challenges. Despite these differences, all teens and tweens need to feel safe in neutral spaces where they feel welcomed by adults who support and believe in them. Join your colleagues and learn about ways to intentionally serve teens & tweens, create safe spaces for them, and provide experiences that allow them to be genuine and practice authentic growth.
Chris Baker is the teen services coordinator at the Portage Public Library. With over 10 years of experience in education and theater, Chris brings unique perspectives to public library service and programs for youth
Unconventional Outreach: Beyond the Bookmobile with Kristi Helmkamp and Alicia Woodland, Appleton Public Library

Youth and Teen Services outreach to our communities will look much different from the past as we surge full throttle into the Information Age of the 21st century. During this session, Youth and Teen Services Librarians will learn how to use their current resources while cultivating varied outreach programs that are irresistible and impactful to their distinct communities. Presenters will share their experiences with developing responsive outreach initiatives like iPads on the Go, Booktalks in the Classroom, Reach Out and Read and more as ways to increase their library’s presence on the front lines of their community. Attendees will learn from each other and will build a sample outreach program for respective communities using a patron-motivated programming model. Unconventional Outreach will enable Youth and Teen Services Librarians to discover new ways to reach the youth of their communities despite roadblocks from funding, time constraints and space limitations.
