SKILLSHARE PROGRAM - SEEKING ENTHUSIASTIC PARTICIPANTS
--Donna Hayward
Librarians' Forum is sponsoring a pilot cross-division skills sharing program to foster understanding, communication and cross-pollination between library departments and staff. Volunteer pairs will spend time learning about other areas of the library by observing each other engaged in everyday work activities. The pilot will start with six to eight participants for the first iteration of the program from March to May 2008.
Participants will spend between four and twelve hours with their paired colleague, participate in a recorded panel discussion at the May Librarians' Forum, and complete an exit survey. They will also be encouraged to share their experience with library staff on the Librarians' Forum blog.
ALL library staff from ALL divisions and departments are welcome and encouraged to volunteer. If you are interested, please fill out the very brief survey of interest via the link below. In the survey, volunteers are asked to indicate their preferred level of involvement and describe briefly what they'd most like to share or learn more about.
The deadline for submission of the volunteer survey of interest is Wednesday, February 27th.
