Libraries and the Era of the Learner: A Vision for the Future
Wednesday, May 16, 2012 ♦ 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ♦ 60 min
Early Registration: https://oclc.webex.com/oclc/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=713247453
Join us for a discussion exploring lifelong learning as an economic driver in the 21st century and the expanding role of libraries in this “era of the learner.” Building on discussions about 21st century skills and workforce development, we’ll hear from futurist Garry Golden on the changing workforce and the role that public libraries can play. We’re excited to take a glimpse into the future and to hear how libraries can identify changes, explore implications and pave the way for learners in the 21st century. This session will build on discussions from a face-to-face convening to be held in April, but will benefit and be of interest to all working in libraries.

Understanding Compassion Fatigue in Your Library
Thursday, May 31, 2012 ♦ 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ♦ 90 min
Early Registration: https://oclc.webex.com/oclc/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=714852202
You love your job. You love your library. You love helping your patrons and giving them the extra attention that lets them know you care. But there are days when you’ve given just about all you have to give. At the end of the day you feel drained, or irritated, or both! You may have achieved “compassion fatigue.” The term, which is used frequently in medical settings, describes a caregiver’s reaction to chronic stress that results in feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, self-doubt, lack of focus and fatigue. This webinar will help you recognize the symptoms and the situations that may trigger compassion fatigue and understand how it affects you and your working environment. Explore ways to take care of yourself so you can continue to show compassion and give your patrons the care they need.
