JANUARY LIBRARY ETHNOGRAPHY: DESIGNING SPACES AND SERVICES PEOPLE REALLY WANT Tuesday, January 17 @ 12 - 1 pm et

FREE!

Based on the success of anthropological and ethnographic methods used to examine information retrieval behaviors, library staff can implement similar methods to guide the efforts of libraries in improving its facilities and services, reference outreach, and web presence. Using ethnographic case studies, participants will learn about the various ways ethnographies can inspire innovative and forward thinking in designing library programs and services. Understanding information seeking behaviors of library patrons will determine the need of particular communities and groups, and what they really want their libraries to provide. This will enable librarians to design library spaces and develop new ways to facilitate and mediate the sharing of information in their communities. A significant development in library and information science research, this workshop will draw on the applications of ethnographic methods to capture comprehensive information about information behavior to improve programs and services in academic, private, and public libraries. This session is part of the Bright Young Minds webinar series. Key outcomes: • Learn the basic theoretical foundation of ethnography research • Introduction to comprehensive and thorough examples of contemporary ethnographic studies in library and information science research • Greater confidence and knowledge in applications of ethnographic methods in the study of patron’s information-seeking behavior Presenter: Lily Yuxi Ren is a MI candidate at the Faculty of Information-iSchool, University of Toronto. She obtained her undergraduate degree at UofT with a double major in Book & Media Studies and Health Studies, and a minor in Human Geography. She has previous experiences working in academic, hospital, and public libraries, and publications in various disciplines. She is constantly looking for innovate and creative ways to inspire her work.

FEBRUARY JUST CURIOUS... HOW CAN ACADEMIC LIBRARIES INCITE CURIOSITY TO PROMOTE SCIENCE LITERACY? Tuesday, February 7 @ 12 - 1 pm et

FREE!

Most one-shot information literacy workshops offered by academic libraries aim at improving the research skills of participants on using a variety of databases. Rather than concentrating on the research tools, can information literacy programs be more student-centered and curiosity-driven? Focusing on the science disciplines, this webinar first looks into the concept of curiosity as presented in the literature of psychology, education and library and information science. It then examines the emphasis of “research as inquiry” within the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL)’s Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, and makes the case for academic libraries to promote science literacy as a practical and outcome-focused endeavour to fulfill their information literacy mandates. This session is part of the Bright Young Minds webinar series.

FOREST FRIDAYS PRESENTS: LIAM O’DONNELL Friday, February 10 @ 11:45 - 12:30 pm et

FEBRUARY TAKING MAKING ON THE ROAD: MOBILE MAKERSPACES FOR UNIVERSITIES, K-12 AND PUBLIC LIBRARIES

TAKING PUBMED TO THE NEXT LEVEL PART 2 Thursday, February 23 @ 12 - 1 pm et

Wedbesday, February 22 @ 2 - 3 pm et

Providing access to information has always been a core value of libraries. With the rise of makerspaces and fab labs, information and access come in many forms: from 3D printing and scanning to sewing machines. How do libraries include these new items in their programming and how do they ensure that all patrons can access them? One way of doing this is by creating a mobile makerspace. A modern take on the bookmobile, a mobile makerspace can be a bus, van, or truck that has been transformed into a space to support new literacies — a space to learn with your hands. Join the co-founders of The MakerBus, as they walk you through the steps of creating, sustaining, funding, and programming Canada’s first mobile makerspace. Reflections on working with schools, the London Public Library, and universities will be included, and other examples of mobile makerspaces will be highlighted throughout the session. Key outcomes: • Understand what a mobile makerspace is and what is involved in planning this project • Learn to critically evaluate the tools in a makerspace to determine what might work best for their library • Obtain a list of useful links and recommendations containing practical advice for creating a mobile makerspace Presenters: Kim Martin is the Ridley PDF in Digital Humanities at the University of Guelph, and co-founder/ Chief Instigator of The MakerBus, Canada’s first mobile makerspace. Her current research looks at the role of gender in makerspaces and digital humanities centres. Ryan Hunt is a co-founder/Chief Fun Officer of the MakerBus and uses his background that combines the arts/humanities and experience with emerging technologies to create outside-of-the-box community-drive education projects.

This four-part webinar series targets experienced library professionals who search on a regular basis, but may not use PubMed as their primary resource. Part 2 will cover advanced search techniques including field tags, wildcards, filters, and troubleshooting really difficult search topics. Search capabilities will be compared between PubMed, OVID, and EBSCO interfaces. This course is meant to get at the heart of PubMed and give participants the opportunity to share and discuss unique issues and encounters. The webinar features lectures, demonstrations, and take home activities. Approved for 4 MLA CE credits. Key outcomes: • Practice using field tags, filters, wildcards and more to construct advanced search strategies in PubMed • Compare search capabilities between various MEDLINE interfaces including PubMed, OVID, and EBSCO • Share past experiences and unique issues in using PubMed with professional colleagues Presenters: Stephanie Swanberg, MSI, AHIP is Assistant Professor and Information Literacy & eLearning Librarian at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine Library in Rochester, Michigan. She instructs medical students and faculty in information searching, evaluation, and management as well as leads the library’s promotion and outreach activities. Fun Fact: Stephanie is an avid explorer of national parks (in the US and Canada to date) and ensures that every trip includes discovering at least one new hiking trail!

Friday, February 24 @ 11:45 - 12:30 pm et

Tuesday, February 28 @ 12 - 1 pm et

Forest Fridays are virtual classroom or library visits hosted by nominated 2017 Forest of Reading authors. They are free for current Forest registrants. For more information visit www. accessola.com/forest We’ve all heard the adage that you can’t change the world, you can only change the world for one person, but what if you write about that one person and their story inspires others? S. J. Laidlaw will talk about literature as an important contribution to social awareness and change and why a child growing up in extreme poverty on the other side of the world is everyone’s problem. Program: White Pine Book Title: Fifteen Lanes Key outcomes: • Gain a deeper understanding of cultural differences and how some of how our most fundamental beliefs are simply a result of our own privilege and circumstance. • Learn the importance of writing from a place of truth. The author will share some true stories of children growing up in Kamathipura and show how elements of many stories are woven into a fictional narrative. • In Fifteen Lanes sexual violence transcends class and culture. Some readers are surprised by Noor’s strength and resilience in comparison to Grace’s. Participants will come away with an understanding of the undaunted nature of the human spirit and their own capacity to affect change in their lives and the wider world. Presenter: Trained as a social worker, S. J. Laidlaw has spent most of her adult life in the developing world. From working with privileged teens to impoverished ones in Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Vietnam, and India, her resolve to help young people in need has never faltered, though she readily admits it’s the strength and determination of the young people themselves that sustains her. In Fifteen Lanes she gives voice to both a wealthy but socially rejected girl and the child of a Mumbai sex worker who is growing up in a world of extreme violence and poverty.

This four-part webinar series targets experienced library professionals who search on a regular basis, but may not use PubMed as their primary resource. Part 3 will focus on managing your results in PubMed using MyNCBI including setting up email alerts, storing and organizing citations, and creating customized search filters. This course is meant to get at the heart of PubMed and give participants the opportunity to share and discuss unique issues and encounters. The webinar features lectures, demonstrations, and take home activities. Approved for 4 MLA CE credits. Key outcomes: • Set-up a free MyNCBI account • Practice searching, storing, organizing, and setting up search alerts to help you track the literature • Share past experiences and unique issues in using PubMed with professional colleagues Presenters: Stephanie Swanberg, MSI, AHIP is Assistant Professor and Information Literacy & eLearning Librarian at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine Library in Rochester, Michigan.

MARCH TEDXYOURLIBRARY!

IMPACT, INFLUENCE AND IMPORTANCE: USING BIBLIOMETRIC DATA IN RESEARCH ASSESSMENT

Tuesday, March 7 @ 1 - 2 pm et

Have you ever thought about hosting a TEDx event at your library? TED, a globally recognized brand that needs no introduction, known for inspirational (and viral) videos on the topics of technology, entertainment, and design, introduced the TEDx program in the spirit of ideas worth spreading. TEDx highlights your local inspirational thinkers. They are self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Libraries have always spread ideas and a TEDx Library Event is the next step in that evolution. Learn how to plan a TEDx event at your library, and discover the many benefits. Key outcomes: • Participants will be introduced to the TEDx license application process, and well as the license requirements (also known as the 100-page TEDx Organizer’s Manual) • Participants will gain an understanding of the key milestones involved in planning a TEDx Library Event • Participants will explore success indicators and benefits of organizing a TEDx event for their community Presenters: Pam Saliba and Andrea Cecchetto are managers at the Markham Public Library, in Markham, Ontario. They are also TEDx Organizers, hosting TEDxMarkhamPublicLibrary.

Thursday, March 16 @ 12 - 1 pm et

Academic institutions and researchers are under increasing pressure to prove that the research they produce has an impact. As a result, academic libraries are dealing with an increase in questions about research metrics. This session will provide participants with a solid footing to answer some of these questions. Bibliometric research impact metrics, what they measure, and best practices around their use will be discussed. The limitations of using metrics will also be explored. Participants will leave with an understanding of how to use research metrics and where to find them to pull together data for individual researchers, journals, and institutions. Key outcomes: • An understanding of research metrics and their limitations • Increased knowledge in where to retrieve metrics and what each metric can tell us • Knowledge in analyzing research metric data to make a case for researchers, journals, and institutions Presenter: Thane Chambers is a Medical Librarian at the University of Alberta Libraries. Thane has been working in the area of research impact since 2011 and as a result will never seek out a professorial position. When not trying to persuade researchers that their h-index doesn’t mean anything outside of the ivory tower, Thane spends his time, like a good librarian, reading, cooking, and hanging out with his family.

Library job postings are often dominated by an overwhelming list of duties and qualifications. We discuss a lot of aspects of librarianship that we aren’t prepared for before that first professional position. Likewise, managing a library always seemed like something that one works towards slowly building skills: instruction, collection development, management, and so on. But what about when your first position requires all of these skills? Jelena’s first contract was a solo librarian position in a departmental library. This was a major challenge but also the best into-the-deep-end learning experience. After talking with her colleagues at other libraries, she realized that she was not alone in this experience. Whether managing an entire library or a few workers, early-career librarians often find themselves in positions that require balancing authority, accountability, and a lack of management experience. This webinar will cover challenges of early-career library management, strategies for success, success stories and triumphs from Jelena’s experience as a solo librarian/ manager and how institutions and librarians can support early-career management. This session is part of the Bright Young Minds webinar series.

PROGRAMMING FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS: A GUIDE TO SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY Tuesday, March 28 @ 1:30 - 2:30 pm et

Forest Fridays are virtual classroom or library visits hosted by nominated 2017 Forest of Reading authors. They are free for current Forest registrants. For more information visit www. accessola.com/forest When did you know you wanted to be a writer? How did you become a writer? What are your favourite books? I start with a 10 minute talk which answers the top 3 questions I get asked as a writer, with pictures and props. Kids can ask questions as we go. I follow this with a 10 minute reading (while wearing my “author’s hat”), from Myles and the Monster Outside. After that, kids can ask questions which is always a hit. I can do another 5-10 minute reading after this if there is time. Program: Silver Birch Express Book Title: Myles and the Monster Outside Key outcomes: • Writers start young (I was nine); you can know that you are a writer (or anything else) very early in life (but it’s okay if you don’t). Outcome: anyone can be a writer. • The 3 things that most writers have in common? They read a lot, they read widely and everything, and they write a lot from an early age. Outcome: reading and writing is a fun pastime that can lead to an interesting career. • ANYONE can be a writer, all you have to do is WRITE! Outcome: some kids will start writing right away, it’s really inspiring for many of them (and for me!). Presenter: Philippa Dowding is a children’s author, a poet, and an award-winning copywriter. Her children’s books have been nominated for literary awards across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. She lives in Toronto with her family, where she writes, plays guitar, sails and walks her dog.

Our communities are diverse, not only with culture, but with abilities. Is your library properly serving your residents if programming opportunities don’t reflect the whole community? People with special needs and mental health issues make up a segment of your population, but they are often forgotten when it comes to program development. I’m here to explain that programming for these groups doesn’t need to be daunting or difficult. This workshop will provide you with steps library staff can use to outreach and support at-risk populations in your area. Key outcomes: • Learn how to connect with the appropriate community partners • Understand the needs of your vulnerable community • Successful outreach strategies to your vulnerable population • Potential training opportunities and strategies that staff may use during branch interactions with these populations Presenter: Ryan Moniz is a Training Librarian for Markham Public Library in the beautiful city of Markham, Ontario. Also known as Canada’s most diverse community. For over 10 years, Ryan has worked with children, youth and young adults including those with special needs, First Nations, and at-risk in a variety of settings. Since a young age he has devoted his time to enriching the lives of others, regardless of their situation, and worked to provide equal opportunities for success. Fun fact: Ryan shaved off his right eyebrow in grade 8 while trying to give himself a haircut. Never again.

APRIL THEFT IN LIBRARIES: FACING THE HIDDEN TRUTH

ONE-SHOT LIBRARY SESSIONS: HOW TO HIT THE TARGET

Tuesday, April 4 @ 1 - 2 pm et

Thursday, April 6 @ 1 - 2 pm et

Synthesis of findings presented at the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) 2016 session of the same name, and presentation of some of the key issues in this progressing field. This popular IFLA session focused on highlighting the importance of recording thefts internationally with the aim to de-stigmatise the reporting of thefts (something which still many libraries will not make publicly aware). It also looked at methods of raising public awareness towards provenance of cultural heritage items, and to continuing to build bridges between the curatorial and commercial arms of the cultural heritage profession. Daryl will also report on the developing work between IFLA the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB). Key outcomes: • Understanding the nature of theft and cultural heritage • Knowledge of ways to protect from and deter theft • Understanding of national and international agencies for crime reporting and awareness raising Presenter: Daryl Green is currently a Librarian at Magdalen College (Oxford, UK). He also works as an Information Coordinator and IFLA Rare Books and Special Collections Section.

Time is a precious commodity in university classrooms, and library staff are often only given one opportunity to integrate information literacy principles into a course. How do you avoid simply lecturing at the students? How do you ensure they get the most out of the session? This webinar will go through the steps of designing a one-shot library session— from consultations with faculty members and designing malleable lesson plans, to incorporating active learning. Tips, tricks, and loose guidelines will be provided to ensure that the next time you’re given one shot — you won’t miss the target. This session is part of the Bright Young Minds webinar series. Key outcomes: • Advice on how to devise realistic and relevant learning outcomes • Tips for incorporating active learning into short sessions • Suggestions for managing the expectations of faculty members • Guidelines on how to create a flexible lesson plan Presenter: Helen Power is an Information Services Librarian at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario. In this position, she delivers one-shot information literacy sessions to graduate and undergraduate level courses.

For more information visit www. accessola.com/forest Meet children’s author Mireille Messier as she shows you the different stages of writing a story and reads from her various books. Plus, have a rare glimpse at where she works. If they are in the mood, you may even get to meet her cats and her fish! / Rencontrez l’auteure jeunesse Mireille Messier qui vous montrera les différentes étapes de l’écriture d’une histoire et qui vous présentera des extraits de ses livres.

FREE!

Book clubs create considerable engagement between the public and libraries — but reading and recommending the “usual suspects” can lose its appeal over time. Join this session to receive suggestions about new books that will spark discussion and the exchange of ideas. We’ll be looking at novels from Canada and around the world, and also a selection of nonfiction — many of the books in paperback, but also a few outstanding hardcover contenders that are hot off the press. Key outcomes: • Receive some “outside the box” recommendations that may appeal to jaded book club members — or to those (men, perhaps) who do not traditionally join books clubs — as well as books in “tried and true” categories • Receive a longlist of 30-40 titles, available in Spring 2017, to consider and /or recommend to book clubs in the library Presenters: The Dewey Divas and Dudes are a group of publishers’ representatives who read widely and delight in sharing their discoveries with librarians. The group has existed for over a decade, and in that time has recommended over 3000 different books; if these books were put on a shelf, it would be as long as a football field! The members include: Saffron Beckwith, Ampersand; Andrea Colquhoun, Penguin Random House Canada; Tim Gain, Canadian Manda; Janet Murie, Scholastic Canada; Rosalyn Steele, HarperCollins Canada; Margot Stokreef, Martin and Associates; Lahring Tribe, Penguin Random House Canada.

Presenters: Mireille Messier has a very difficult name to pronounce. Luckily, her books aren’t hard to read! She has written over 20 books for kids (and one for grown-ups). She also writes for television, for the Web, for magazines and for newspapers. Today, you’ll get to see where she works and she’ll show you all the different stages it takes before one of her stories becomes book. Live from Toronto, this is Mireille! / Mireille Messier est l’auteure de plus de 20 livres pour les jeunes (et un livre pour les grands). Elle écrit aussi pour la télévision, pour le Web, pour des revues et pour des journaux. Aujourd’hui, nous aurons la chance de voir là où elle travaille, elle va nous dévoiler les différentes étapes nécessaires pour transformer une idée en livre (et, si nous sommes chanceux, ses chats viendront peut-être nous dire bonjour). En direct de Toronto, voici Mireille! Unless otherwise noted: All webinars are $45 for members and $55 for non members. Webinars qualify for one CEC credit. For more information, see page 2.

APRIL TEEN INSTAGRAM ENGAGEMENT: USING THE PLATFORM AS A TOOL AND TEEN LIBRARY SERVICE

OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES & OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIBRARIES Tuesday, April 25 @ 12 - 1 pm et

Wednesday, April 19 @ 2 - 3 pm et

Instagram has become a very common social media platform for public libraries. The image-based site allows libraries to show off materials and program successes. It can also be used as both an engagement tool and founding service within the library’s teen department. The platform is one of the most popular among today’s teens and helps librarians to connect with youth in a realm where the teenagers are already comfortable. In rethinking the Cambridge Idea Exchange Teen Summer Reading, Instagram became the primary focus instead of the number of hours or books read. With a strategic online outreach plan and weekly photo challenges, the teen summer Instagram program (dubbed #IEXchallenge) was an immense success. It managed to garner 182 Cambridge teen followers and received over 350 photo submissions in just 10 weeks. This session details how to take your teen Instagram presence to the next level as an engagement tool instead of leaving it as a simple library promotional platform. Key outcomes: • Amplify local teen Instagram follower numbers • Create opportunities for unique engagement • Arrange popular Instagram challenges • Tips for Instagram posts that appeal to teen followers Presenter: Brooke Windsor served as an Innovation and Information Specialist at the Cambridge Idea Exchange, creating a great deal of public library event hype at local high schools. Her education includes a Master of Information in Library and Information Services from the University of Toronto iSchool as well as a Master of Science in Instruction and Curriculum, focused in School Library Media. She named her cat after Evelyn from The Mummy (1999) to respect adventurous librarians everywhere.

Hear how research libraries are beginning to redefine their roles as producers and disseminators of open access learning materials. The following presentation will share research and findings published in a white paper dedicated to open educational resources addressing some of the following: Key outcomes: • Current landscape of open education resources in Canada and roles research library consortia play in this area • Opportunities for research libraries in the areas of advocacy and faculty support • Exploring opportunities round Open Educational Resources (OER) creation, sharing and use in campuswide practices, policies as well as operational aspects of course design and curricula Presenters: Katya Pereyaslavska (M.A., M.I.) has recently completed a secondment with the Association of Research Libraries as a Visiting Program Officer for Accessibility and Universal Design where she was tasked with raising awareness of library practices in the area of accessible publishing. In her day-to day role as at Scholars Portal, Ontario Council of University Libraries, Katya has been responsible for the development of initiatives such as the Accessible Content ePortal (ACE), Accessibility Information Toolkit for Libraries and the Report on Accessible Media (ROAM). More recently Katya has been working in the area of open educational resources, developing a white paper to explore current practices and future opportunities for OCUL members.
