Here is a current list with brief descriptions and web sites of programs with library training partners, followed by a brief history of library-related workshops.

Although I still travel and conduct live programs, I also am interested in what I can do for you and your library online, including webinars, classes with active participation, live teleconferences and integrated programs using a combination of live and virtual interactions. Virtual programs can improve interaction and provide the means for engaging more employees at times that are convenient to their schedule. Happy to talk about the pros and cons of different software and web solutions, social media, delivery methods, and philosophies regarding self-paced versus facilitated.

Lifelong Education @ Desktop (LE@D)

Since the summer of 2007 I have been collaborating with the Lifelong Education @ Desktop (LE@D) program http://www.leadonline.info, a continuing education community service of the University of North Texas. Now, my clients will have access to my material before, during, after and even instead of my live workshops. We plan to transform 28 of my programs in the coming months into “anytime, anywhere, everywhere” web-based classes. These classes are approved for certification under the Western Council of State Libraries.

Eight of my workshops are immediately available.

• Ethical Standards for Leadership
• Ethics in the Real World: Library Case Studies
• Improving Co-Worker Relations
• Influence, Even When You Don't Have Power or Authority
• Leadership in Libraries: Becoming An Everyday Leader
• Change Management and Leadership
• Strategic Planning: The Five-Minute Introduction
• Strategic Planning: Quick, Cheap and Decent

In addition to providing content for classes as a subject matter expert, I also will be supporting marketing efforts as the library relations associate. I am pleased to be able to spread the word about LE@D. The LE@D team provides inexpensive, appealing and effective online education for library and school leadership, managers and staff, as well as professionals and associates in business, rehabilitation and volunteer management.

Why did I join the LE@D team?

• Years of established success within library workplaces.
• Consistent and affordable staff development for larger libraries and library agencies.
• Contemporary and appealing production values.
• Commitment to small, rural and under-served libraries with limited resources.
• Collaboration with other library and educational institutions.
• Interactive teaching environment with rich arrays of models and resources.
• Certification partnerships with state, regional and national associations.

Hope to see you online soon.
