A Parallel Course--Retailing Methods and Techniques in Libraries
4:56 PM EDT 3/28/09
I just finished the course, Retailing Methods and Techniques in Libraries, that is offered by LE@D. It was excellent, quick, and pertinent. This course speaks to our issues in a way that Skillsoft does not. It addresses the differences and similarities between retail and library scenarios and was written by a man who has experience in both arenas. Well worth the time!!

And thanks, Betha and Jennifer for letting me "show my face." This is one of the few sites that is safe and supportive.

Yes, the great thing about the LE@D courses is that they are specific to libraries. I think I'll follow your recommendation and take the course.

I've noticed how many courses you've completed in a relatively short amount of time. You are a rock star of self-motivation. If you have any insights to share on getting yourself going and managing your time, we're all ears. emoticon

It really helps to have a strange name like Ranita. It means "little frog" in Spanish and that aptly describes me. Also, being left-handed in a right-handed world has made me appreciate adaptation. I suppose being compulsive helps in some areas. And I would say, gold stars are motivating! I am known for reading non-fiction at the library, or a classic. I inherited that from my Dad. I can't imagine much reason to read fiction. Actually, some non-fiction is fiction (as we find out later.) On the whole, I just love to learn!

I just completed the Customer Voice course ---oh that feels good!

I love your "little frog" name. I'd like to be "little turtle."

That love of learning is key. I also have a determination to work through to completion (although you wouldn't know it by all my incomplete house projects). That said, completion isn't the goal; it's the learning and ultimate change in behavior. I've learned as much from the group discussions here as I have from the course content.
