May-Jun: Becoming a Resilient Person - The Science of Stress Management (edX)

9 week course begins May 6 (or audit on your own time)

The purpose of this course is to teach individuals the science behind becoming a resilient person. Stated simply, resilience is the ability to survive and thrive. Resiliency is not only about your ability to positively adapt in the face of adverse or challenging circumstances (that is, survive), but it is also about learning the positive skills, strategies and routines that enable you to live a happy, fulfilling, and meaningful life (in other words, thrive). This course gives you the permission to take care of yourself in order to effectively manage life stressors and do what matters most in life. This captures the notion of being from the inside out, which is a phrase that highlights the importance of promoting core resilience skills, strategies, and routines among early childhood educators. In turn, resilient people are more capable of creating and maintaining nurturing, supportive, and effective learning environments while also optimizing their own wellbeing and love for both the big and small things in life.

By the end of this course, you will have learned about the knowledge and skills that you can apply in your life now and in the future to be a resilient person.

Techniques for Creative Problem Solving in Libraries



Instructor: Annie Downie
Dates: January 14-27, 2013
Credits: 0.75 CEUs
Cost: $90

Librarians are constantly called on to come up with creative solutions to problems of all stripes, whether is it how to offer amazing service with too little staff, coming up with ways to convince faculty to bring their classes to the library, plan for an unknown and constantly changing future, develop presentations that wow board members or administrators, or develop an innovative orientation session for new freshman. We have to do it all and usually in a short amount of time. One of the most valuable tools a librarian can have is the ability to think creatively and to approach issues with a fresh and open mind.

The course is comprised of four sections: Generating New Ideas, Developing Habits of Creative Thinking, The Thinking Process, and Turning Ideas into Successful Projects. Within these sections you will learn practical strategies and techniques including effective brainstorming, cross-fertilization of ideas, creating time and space to think, perceptual positioning, questioning assumptions and biases, concept mapping, unconventional problem solving, problem redefinition, and reality checks. This course will utilize brief readings, online discussion, video, worksheets, and exercises.

The course will culminate in you taking a work problem or issue you are currently dealing with and developing a plan of action using the 6-step Productive Thinking Model and your newly learned creative problem solving skills. The instructor will work closely with you on the development of your plan offering guidance and feedback throughout the process.

Annie Downey currently serves as the Director of Research Services at the Reed College Library, in Portland OR. She is the former Head of Research and Instructional Services at the University of North Texas, where she also served as Manager of the Instruction Unit, Outreach Librarian, Reference and Instruction Librarian, and a Graduate Library Assistant. She is in the dissertation phase of her PhD in Higher Education at UNT, where the focus of her research is critical information literacy. She also teaches Academic Libraries at Texas Woman's University School of Library and Information Science. Interview with Annie Downey

Managing Stress in Today's Libraries

A video of the 2010 workshop Handling What You Can’t Control: Managing Stress in Today’s Libraries, presented by Enid Berman, is now available free online at http://rurallibraries.org/video/enid/index.html The workshop was sponsored by the Pacific Library Partnership Staff Development Committee and received excellent evaluations from those in attendance.  The video is on the web site of the California State Library’s Rural Library Initiative, which funded the videotaping.  Thanks very much to Chuck O'Shea, web manager for that site, who did the technical work to get the video online.
