Shana Fair, Tracey Humphrey, and Amy Underwood will be away Friday, November 3. They will be attending the Academic Library Association of Ohio 2006 Annual conference. This team was invited to give two presentations. Their first session is Double, Double Toil and Trouble: Brewing Up Successful Workers. During this 45 minute session, the ZCL library staff will present their ingredients for training and empowering student workers to handle all types of situations encountered at the circulation desk. These types of situations run the gamut from technical problems with printers and copiers to people problems requiring skills to deal with difficult and stressful situations.
Their second presentation, a poster session entitled Public Services Pizza: The Works, presents techniques to stretch the library staff and ensure students and staff at Zane State and OUZ get a nutritious diet of services even thought staffing is limited.
Why the food related titles? The theme for the 2006th conference is Recipes for Library Success: Ingredients, Process, and Product.
