FREE WEBINAR: "Communicating the Value of Your Special Library"

When your library feels pressure to succeed, what do you do? Are you looking for ways to communicate your library’s value? Would you like to find new ways to convey to your effectiveness to management?

Communicating the value of your special library is crucial in today’s climate. Budget pressures, management oversight, under appreciation by patrons—many complex issues face the library and librarians today.

Building on the value discovered via the previous webinar, “Determining the Value of Your Library”, Joe Matthews continues to explore the value of your library by taking that value and effectively conveying it in “Communicating the Value of Your Special Library.” Though the previous webinar will be referenced, it is not a prerequisite for attending.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• What will resonate?
• How to structure the message
• Communication options
• Messages that soar!

Sign up here for this free informative webinar. We look forward to having you join us online via WebEx on October 23, 2013 at 10am PT / 1PM ET.

Mobile Technology Online Conference

Title:  Access by Touch: Delivering Library Services Through Mobile Technologies

When: 9:00am – 4:30pm central, Friday, June 8, 2012
Where:  Online – from the comfort of your office
Website:  http://www.amigos.org/mobile_tech

From computers to the Internet, libraries have successfully met the challenge of adapting their services to changing technologies. Today's challenge is delivering services to smartphones, eBook readers, and tablets to users on the go who now view more content on mobile devices than desktop and laptop computers. CDs and DVDs are becoming passé, eBook sales outpace paper books, and users increasingly download music, movies, and books from iTunes and Kindle, storing their purchases in the Cloud.

This online conference will address the technical issues related to pushing library content and services to mobile users. Topics to be addressed include selecting and creating eBooks, building mobile-friendly websites, selecting and developing apps for library users, and circulating library materials through mobile devices. Our list of speakers includes librarians, academics, and business trendsetters. Amigos members and non-members, join our online conversation and be a part of this informative, interactive June 8 event.

It’s difficult to keep up with changes in mobile technologies, so spend time with us June 8^th to bring yourself up to speed. Seating is limited and early bird registration ends May 25, 2012.  Both individuals and groups are welcome. Recordings will be available to all registrants.
