Microaggressions are subtle, denigrating messages delivered to members of marginalized groups, and they can negatively affect an organization's culture. Experiences of microaggressions can lead individuals to feel increasingly dissatisfied with their jobs, which may result in their physical or psychological departures from their organizations.
This webinar, jointly sponsored by and the Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) and the ALA Office for Diversity, will define microaggressions, cover racial microaggressions and microaggressions toward LGBT people, and discuss how this affects librarians and the potential implications for the future of the profession.
LLAMA or ALA member $49
Non-LLAMA or ALA member $59
LLAMA/ALA group rate (5 or more people at one site) $199
Non-member group rate (5 or more people at one site) $239

Karen Calhoun and Aaron Brenner will discuss the digital library as a platform for a two-way exchange of knowledge between your library and community. At cultural heritage's core is community, and in this workshop, you'll learn about a range of approaches for community engagement.

May: Bilingual Storytime at Your Biblioteca (Library Juice Academy)
May 5-30, 2014 $175
Description: This 4-week, online course teaches participants how to present bilingual storytimes (English/Spanish) for various ages, regardless of their own language skills. Video demonstrations, articles, online resources and course discussions direct students as they learn how to successfully deliver the various elements of bilingual storytimes, either on their own or with a bilingual community partner. Participants will discover new books, rhymes, songs, plans and resources that they can immediately put to use in their bilingual storytime programs.
Learning Objectives:
Students will learn how to select and use the following components in bilingual storytime: books, songs, rhymes, fingerplays, and stories for telling aloud.
Students will experiment with incorporating bilingual materials into their existing storytime programs.
Students will select books and other materials they can use to increase inclusion of Latino culture and the Spanish language in their English storytime programs.
Students will develop strategies for working with bilingual community partners to present and market bilingual storytime.
Students will gain an increased understanding of the early literacy and school readiness needs of Latino children.
Students will articulate how bilingual storytime supports the early literacy and school readiness needs of Latino children, and identify online resources for sharing early literacy and school readiness information with Spanish-speaking parents.
Students will each develop two bilingual storytime plans.
NOTE: This course does not address outreach/marketing to Latinos and Spanish-speakers, and is best suited for libraries that are already successfully serving these communities. Libraries interested in learning how to establish or improve services to Latino and Spanish-speaking families are encouraged to take the course, “Building Relationships, Building Bridges: Library Outreach and Marketing to Latino and Spanish-Speaking Families.”

Mar: Building Relationships, Building Bridges: Library Outreach and Marketing to Latino and Spanish-Speaking Families (Library Juice Academy)
March 3-29, 2014 $175
Public libraries across the country experiencing growth in their Latino and Spanish-speaking populations face similar challenges in connecting these communities with library service. Though libraries may offer Spanish-language materials and/or programming, these services may not attract the targeted community as desired. This class is designed to help libraries to bridge the gap and increase the use of their services by Latinos and Spanish-speakers, with particular emphasis on reaching first-generation immigrants and their families. Participants will increase their knowledge of Latino cultural values that impact library use, develop an understanding of common barriers that impede library use, and develop strategies for overcoming those barriers. Participants will also identify key people/organizations within their own communities for potential partnerships. This course is strongly recommended as a prerequisite for “Bilingual Storytime at Your Biblioteca.”

Jan: Cultural Intelligence: Effective Tools for the Global Workforce
January 14, 2014
10-11am Pacific
While our world is now fully global, most educational institutions are failing us drastically when it comes to preparing employees to work across cultures. While most jobs nowadays require some type of across the border interaction, too few employees are appropriately prepared to avoid the cross-cultural land mines that lay within the international arena. Through this session, participants will learn how to:
Discover the different cultural dimensions at play when interacting across cultures
Position themselves within cultures
Learn about culturally different leadership styles
Tweak their communication style to bond across cultures
Adjust their culturally rooted expectations
Training for international success is indeed required today. Integrating cultural intelligence and developing a global mindset are effective ways to reduce frustration and failure for those who are part of a global organization. This session will be useful to anyone who is part of a multicultural distributed team, in charge of either purchasing or selling abroad--or simply interacting with people located in different time zones.

April: El día de los niños/El día de los libros
ALSC is happy to offer four Día webinars for FREE during the month of
April! Learn about the Día celebration, how to incorporate this initiative into your
library programming throughout the year and more!
Every
year hundreds of libraries and schools celebrate the multicultural family
literacy initiative El día de los niños/El día de los libros, informally
known as “Día.” Whether your library has celebrated in the past or plans
on celebrating this year, this practical webinar will help you to get a head
start on your planning. We’ll cover Día’s history, explore
program ideas big and small, discuss recommended resources, and hear the true
story of a librarian’s very first Día.
Día 201: https://ala.adobeconnect.com/_a1087453682/p8gvue9su35/
Learn how to expand on your El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Dia) programming by taking Dia beyond the library walls. Participants will discuss large scale Dia events, strategies for community collaboration, grant opportunities, and ideas for creating a Dia “season” or year-round Dia-related events.

An
effective way to really make Día (El día de los niños/El día de los
libros--Children's Day/Book Day) a part of library programming throughout
the year is to introduce multicultural literature and bilingual literacy into
any and all programs and events at the library where it might apply.
Are
you culturally literate? Do you know how to plan and promote programs and
services for diverse populations of children and their families? In this
interactive session, participants will explore their understanding of various
cultures and discuss how to create culturally sensitive library programming that
promotes cultural literacy and connects many children from many cultures.
Are you interested in more great ALSC webinars? We have a wide
selection happening this spring from “So You Want to Genre-fy Your Library… and
More” to “Best Practices for Apps in Storytime.” For
additional information and registration please visit www.ala.org/alsced.
