Managing Library Technology: Keeping All the Balls in the Air
In this webinar learn from a seasoned assistant director, smart practices for managing people, workflows, and technology –all at the same time.
This event has passed.
Managing library technology isn’t just about the technology. It involves fine juggling skills to manage people, workflows, procedures, policies and more―all while prioritizing, delegating and tracking. Just preparing staff effectively for upgrades or changes to technology takes finesse. How does one person do it all? Strong project and time management skills are key. Regardless of your job title, and whether working with a small team or a library-wide technology committee, anyone can learn smart practices to keep everything, and everyone, in motion and on target.
Presented by: John Klima, Assistant Director, Waukesha Public Library (WI), author, editor, and LITA Blogger
