The PubMed� Game: Designed for librarians & library staff
The PubMed� Game is primarily used for the PubMed for Experts class in order to review PubMed commands, search features, etc. It can be used and adapted for other situations. One board is made up of five by five categories and questions. The other shorter version is made up of five categories with four sets of questions.
Thinking Like an MBA: Time, Money, Resources and Change Management in the Library
As not-for-profit institutions adopt more business practices and processes, librarians need to be more knowledgeable about adapting to these current strategies. Participants will understand not only the components of a typical project plan but be able to implement them within their own work setting. Thus, the class will explore 1) Project Plan and its components: 2) Time 3) Money and 4) Resources, as well as 5) Change Management to assist in development of the organizational culture.
Ideally, this class will assist librarians in serving as models for change within a larger organizational structure while reinforcing their own business and administrative skills, technical capabilities, and customer service in the library. It is expected that attendees of this session be able to employ demonstrated tools within their own environment upon completion of class.
This is an online, asynchronous, instructor-led class using Moodle. See URL for further information
