Chasing Your Own Tale: A Librarian's Introduction to Genealogy and Genealogical Sources

Genealogists, from absolute beginners to professionals, love nothing more than talking about their ancestors. Teaching a genealogy class means listening to those stories, and also guiding the search and providing resources to enrich the stories. One of the first places a genealogist visits to do their research, the public library is a natural fit for this kind of class. You don't have to be a professional genealogist to teach research methods and introduce students to quality websites, library databases, and specialized collections. YOU can help your patrons find and tell their own stories. This introduction is geared towards library professionals who have little or no experience with genealogy.

Curiosity @ Your Library

For many people, students in particular - choosing a topic is the scariest and most difficult part of the research process. They want to stick to safe ground where they know they'll find sources; we know that the fun happens when we explore the unknown and learn new things. Tired of helping students do research on the same topics over and over, and concerned that students weren't making the connections between research and learning, librarians at Oregon State University shifted their approach, putting curiosity at the center of the research process. With curiosity at the center, we can design lessons, displays, programs and activities that encourage patrons to follow their interests, sometimes to places they didn't know existed! And by doing it together, we reduce the fear of the unknown, and emphasize the importance of curiosity to the research process, and to lifelong learning.

Public access television and community radio stations provide free or low-cost facilities to produce broadcast content.

Detangling Dyslexia: What it is, and what we can do to help

What is dyslexia? Why is it suddenly a hot topic? This summer, the Oregon State Legislature passed two bills addressing dyslexia and education. All children entering public schools in Oregon will be screened for dyslexia, and teachers will be trained in effective teaching methods.What does this mean for libraries? How can we best serve dyslexic readers and their families? This session will define dyslexia, share the latest developments in brain science, and provide referral resources and best practices for accommodations and collection development.

Embedded Professionals at the Library

Many of us have heard the concept embedded or community librarians. These librarians provide services to target audiences off-site, specifically where people live, work or play. In fact, many of us have already implemented a community librarian model and are seeing a lot of success with this approach. But, what about embedded professionals in our space, such as social workers in the library, lawyers in the library, nurses in the library, small business mentors in the library? These programs have been successful too. However, while we are happy to be embedded in other agencies, organizations, and groups, we have concerns about professionals in our library. A panel of librarians and practitioners of the "in the library" programs will talk about the pros and cons of these programs and whether it's right for your library and our profession. COMBINED WITH Patrons say they are computer illiterate. They need assistance with electronic resumes. Can't find reliable, qualified volunteers in your community to provide computer instruction? Quit spinning your wheels and listen to our story. Due to large demand and lack of resources, libraries need a cost-effective way to bridge the digital divide in their communities and increase information literacy programming. Come and learn how to recruit a full-time volunteer who can dedicate all their time to digital literacy and job skills training. Attend this session to see if Americorps is your solution.

Lessons in Leadership: Stories from the Field

Academic library leadership lessons are not just for librarians in management positions. At all levels of our institutions and organizations, librarians and staff are leading and managing initiatives and making critical decisions that affect the direction of those entities. Yet, not all of those who are leading organizational change (from the top, middle or elsewhere) have the opportunity to benefit from often-costly professional development training. A panel of librarians and library staff will share their stories of leadership development through a variety of formal and informal training and professional development opportunities and address how they applied leadership lessons in their everyday work and in their work with the professional associations they serve.,

Library of Things / Lending "Outside of the box" / Maker Mondays (Library of Things, Board Games & Seeds oh my!)
Librarians are telling and re-writing their stories in both big and small ways. Libraries are offering more non-traditional items for their patrons: board games, croquet sets, circuit kits, deep fryers, cake pans, seed packets and more are now available to check out and use.

Telling the library's story through linked data

Come hear from Oregon libraries that are "telling their story" to search engines through the use of linked data. Bibliographic data and web page elements can be converted to linked data structure and made accessible to search engines to serve up in results pages. This program will include an update from Multnomah County Library about the conversion of their bibliographic data through the LibHub Initiative. Washington County Cooperative Library Services will share their use of linked data elements in their website, and Tigard Public Library will share discoveries on how to incorporate linked data into their website. These are exciting new developments that help libraries tell their story to web searchers.

Visual Stories - Putting the Sexy Back in Assessment

Having goals for the future can be magic! Whether you have goals for your library, your department, or specifically for yourself, this session will help you map out ways of visualizing those goals.
After looking at examples of annual reports summarized in infographics and data dashboards, participants will start out by sketching the "dream" infographic for their library 6 years from now. Using that sketch as a starting point, we'll look at different ways of comparing our data, visualizing our data, and using online tools for creating the graphics. Along the way, participants will build out a rough assessment plan to help them get started toward achieving the data visual of their dreams. We will finish with a gallery walk to learn from each other by seeing how neighbors represented their libraries in their infographic sketches.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand 'Likes': Photography Bootcamp to Make Your Storytelling Social Media Amazing

Why do some people end up with amazing photos while yours are lackluster and out of focus? Jump-start your camera skills with this photo bootcamp for the "photographically challenged".

Having spent decades as an award-winning professional photographer and photojournalist before becoming a librarian, Bill Landau will show you how to get the most out of your camera or phone.

After attending this program, you will no longer just take "snapshots". The emphasis will be on inspiring attendees to creatively tell a story with photography while producing images of beauty. We will cover basic composition and creative photography techniques and show you how to optimize your device to get maximum results. There will be demonstrations of the most popular and useful photography apps for phones and tablets.

If you want to blow minds on your library's Facebook, Instagram, website or newsletters, find yourself a seat in this darkroom and see what develops!

Autoethnography: Our Stories, Our Research

Autoethnography is a research method, whereby researchers investigate aspects of what it means to be a librarian. Starting with a reflective examination of themselves they investigate questions of library culture, values and identity. Autoethnography has potential to help librarians answer questions that cannot be answered by traditional, empirical research methods and to reveal voices that are obscured by aggregations of data. Autoethnography blends art and science and is at turns evocative, analytical, and creative. It can help us look deeply into our library culture, critique it where need be, transform ourselves, and ultimately inspire us to change librarianship for the better.
