Jun'15: Weeding the Academic Library With Confidence (Library Juice Academy)
http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/042-weeding.php
Dates: June 1-26, 2015
Price: $175
All libraries need some regular weeding, but many of us don't know where to start. An important but often overlooked part of collection development, deaccessioning materials is a vital way to keep your library's collection useful for your institution. This four week course will provide, through readings and exercises, guidance on how to focus a library's collection and identify where to prune and what to keep. We will explore how to keep faculty (moderately) happy during the weeding process, and what to do with the downsized materials once the decision to deaccession has been made. Students will develop principles on maintaining a manageable library collection during the course which will guide their institution well into the future, while also learning about the mechanics involved in a weeding project.

Apr'15: Diversity 102: Moving Beyond and Forward (Simmons SLIS-CE)
$300.00 (Simmons SLIS Alumni Price $250.00)
April 1 - May 6, 2015 - PDPs: 20
http://alanis.simmons.edu/ceweb/workshop.php?id=200
Please note: This is a five-week workshop
Yes, we need diverse books. But what do you do when you have them? How do you find them in the first place? How do you assess them? And, most important, how do you get them in the hands of all readers, not just your "diverse" patrons?
This workshop is about moving past simply calling for diversity and gets to actionable goals and skill-building. Attendees will learn how to audit their reading habits and look for bias and privilege in order to become broader readers; how to find and assess diverse books for offensive or inauthentic content; and how to get them in the hands of all types of readers, regardless of background. Using critical theory, author and librarian testimonials, and a booklist of major authors in a wide variety of diverse areas (race/ethnicity, sexuality/gender, socioeconomic status, ability), this course will arm attendees with proven strategies and talking points for buying, reading, booktalking, promoting, and increasing circulation of diverse titles.

Jan'15: Fugitive hunters: Community-based digital collection development of born-digital government information (North Carolina Library Association)
Monday, Jan. 12 (10-11 am Mountain)
Help! I’m an Accidental Government Information Librarian presents ... Fugitive hunters: community-based digital collection development of born-digital government information
“Fugitive” documents – documents not sent automatically to FDLP libraries – have always been a problem for the FDLP community. Libraries have historically dealt with fugitives aggressively and creatively, collectively and individually, in response to the needs of their Designated Communities. However, the scope of the problem in the born-digital era is geometrically greater. This presentation will give context to the "fugitive" issue and the digital present, demonstrating that born-digital community-wide collection development is a logical, rational, responsible, and important part of a document librarian's job. It will help govt information librarians convince their administrations that building collections of born digital government information is the most effective and efficient way that each library can address the information needs of their own communities.

$125-195
Portal: Libraries and The Academy earlier this year published an article by OCLC researchers Lorcan Dempsey, Constance Malpas and Brian Lavoie, titled Collection Directions: Some Reflections on the Future of Library Collections and Collecting. This groundbreaking article focuses on how 21st century digital networks are impacting information services in academic and research libraries. The article, in particular, reveals how today’s digital networks are forcing libraries to change the ways they shape, design and deliver their collections services on nearly every level.
To learn more about the key themes in this article, join OCLC Research Scientist, Constance Malpas, in a NFAIS Webinar, Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Constance will discuss in detail the evolution of these changes in library collections and how information professionals and providers can keep ahead of the curve in the years ahead.

Jan'15: Getting Started with Digital Image Collections (Library Juice Academy)
January 5-30, 2015 / $175
This course is primarily aimed at librarians who are new to managing special image collections and who wish to learn more about beginning a digitization program. Through readings, individual exercises, and class discussions, students will develop an understanding of the following key components of digitization project planning: evaluation and preparation of resources, building sustainable workflows and storage environments, and usability assessment. In the first part of the course, students will become familiar with current research into the behaviours and attitudes of image-seekers, and they will develop a broad understanding of how different metadata standards for libraries, archives and museums record and present information to the end user. In the following weeks, we will discuss basic steps for creating and preserving digital images, such as choosing an appropriate scanning resolution, file naming, and devising scale-appropriate storage methods. Students will evaluate various strategy and planning documents in order to develop goals for their projects, and will be given examples of workflows that can be customized for their own use. The focus will be on providing access to collections that are being digitized from analogue materials, but will also have applications to born-digital collections.
