NWILS Special Project Consulting continues going strong. It’s been no problem having projects to outsource to our group of consultants. (Imagine how busy they all would be if I REALLY advertised!) Most recently, Susan has been working with Auburn PL and Sandi with Dickens PL. In future weeks, Ann will be heading to Sanborn and Tena to Quimby.
Also: within the framework of this consulting service, Susan is doing a staff development day for Milford PL on customer service. That’s coming up in August. A nice spin-off here is that NWILS gains another workshop to use and replicate, so obviously another great aspect of this service.
Still ahead is a wiki for the consulting group. There would be some real benefit to that, especially in developing agendas and training materials.
And here’s some exciting news: I have an opportunity to tout this shiny new service at 2 conferences, at the Rural Libraries Conference in September (Ohio) and at PLA in March (Minneapolis) It’ll be done as poster sessions, but still, I’m excited about sharing this consulting approach. Because it’s a new model for regional systems to consider, it’s innovative, and I suspect it’s unique (although I don’t know that for sure) But I do know it’s working! For these poster sessions, Sue and I are working on a slideshow using PhotoStory.
Remember, you'll find a list of the Special Project Consultants on NWILS website, along with allowable projects: www.nwils.lib.ia.us Let us know how we can help!
