Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating architect Julian Francis Abele. Born in 1881 in Philadelphia, Abele designed hundreds of important buildings without receiving due recognition during his lifetime. He was the first African-American student to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Architecture, and is regarded today as the premier African-American architect. Tuesday, May 5 and Thursday, May 14, 3:00 ET, Free Live Webinar: Collaboration + Communication = Successful Library Services and Programs Description It is imperative that librarians position themselves to offer collegiate and scholarly services to students and faculty at their point of need. In order to do this, we must develop cross collaborations that foster honest communication with our constituents concerning what our information needs are. This two-part presentation will focus on strategies to enhance your library's presence on campus through collaboration. Learning Outcomes At the end of the session the participant will have: 1. A better understanding of best practices for collaborations. 2. Strategies for determining when external collaborations may not be in the best interest of patrons. 3. Knowledge of opportunities for future collaboration that can increase your libraries funding pool. Suggested Attendance Dean, directors, and librarians will benefit from this presentation.
