No library can successfully serve its users without qualified and dedicated staff members. Student staff members fill roles that are essential to the success of any library. Therefore, it is necessary that these students be of high quality and well-trained. This course is based upon the premise that a student's work in the library should be seen as part of his or her overall development as a learner and a complete individual. With that philosophy in mind, this course will teach you specific tools and methods to evaulate and improve your current process of hiring, training and developing your student staff. Specifically, the focus will be on methods and processes to help you hire the best students possible, clearly communicate your expectations to your student staff, measure their progress and ability while finding ways to motivate and engage them. Readings will be provided during the course.
Course objectives:
Understand the role that student staff play in the functioning of your library.
Recognize and clearly articulate what a dedicated approach to student staff training and development looks like in your library.
Develop a comprehensive student training and development plan, as applicable to your particular library staff situation.
Create new or tweak existing hiring, training and other procedures related to the training of student staff.
Work with other librarians to learn from their experiences and knowledge.

Dec: People - Difficult or Different
Friday, Dec 13, 2013 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PST
Why are some clients or co-workers so frustrating to work with? Or more importantly, why would anyone think of YOU as a difficult person?
For example, isn’t it irritating when the person across the desk or on the phone can’t seem to ever make a decision… or makes a snap decision only to change it a day later?
In this highly interactive and engaging presentation, you will discover why “different” does not have to mean “difficult.” Then you will learn the magic of making slight adjustments in your awareness and behavior that will have a significant impact on your ability to “click” with customers and co-workers.
You will laugh as you identify your behavior style, as well as those with whom you work. While you laugh, you will also learn that people are different and that “intent” doesn’t always equal “impact.” In short, you will realize how to make work… less work!
Length: 45 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A
System Requirements: Computer with internet access, speakers with VoIP capabilities, alternatively you can listen using your telephone by dialing in.

Aug: Historical Economic Data Sources & Economic Time Travel
August 21 from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. (Eastern).
Help! I’m an Accidental Government Information Librarian presents ...
In economics, historical data aren’t necessarily 200 years old; historical data could be two weeks old. That’s because economic data are revised, frequently. And those revisions mean that the historical data librarians find for patrons may not be the same values that an individual would have seen when the data were initially released.
Economic data are made from estimates. Over time, more information becomes available and these estimates are revised. Policy-makers, businesses, and consumers make economic and financial decisions based on unrevised data available at a point in time. These unrevised are useful for studying historic decisions and economic policies. This webinar will describe sources available for uncovering historical economic data and methods for using those sources that provide a window into the past.
Please RSVP for the Session by August 20 at 5:00 pm using this link: https://tinyurl.com/grs-session29
Technical requirements: We will be using collaborative software called Blackboard Collaborate. It requires that you be able to download Java onto your computer, but you do not need any special software. After you RSVP, we will send you a link that you can use to test the software. If you have any questions, please contact Lynda Kellam ( lmkellam@uncg.edu ). You do not need a microphone as a chat system is available in the software, but you do need speakers or headphones.
The session will be recorded and made available after the live session, linked from the NCLA GRS web page (http://www.nclaonline.org/government-resources).

Sept: Emotional Intelligence in Your Workplace
Emotional
Intelligence – maybe you’ve heard the term, but what in the world does
it mean? The short answer is simply being intelligent about emotions –
yours and others’. The longer – and much more interesting – answer will

In the second session, we’ll take a closer look at emotions:
In the last session, we will investigate the other two elements – by probing how our emotions affect how we interact with others. We’ll also discover the potential for improving our emotional intelligence, why it matters in the workplace, and why it might be challenging to do so.
