This talk was given at the 2014 Public Library Association Conference in Indianapolis on March 14th by David Vinjamuri. It covers self-publishing, readers advisory and specific recommendations on visual merchandising for libraries with data from the Tulsa City-County Library system and Anythink Libraries in Adams County, Colorado
Librarians are essential to a healthy book ecosystem: they nurture lifelong readers and provide an increasingly important platform for book discovery. Yet few of us really understand the role they play and how they work.
This panel of librarians (Christina de Castell, Vancouver Public Library; Michael Ciccone, Hamilton Public Library; Moe Hosseini-Ara, Markham Public Library) provides us with valuable insight into how libraries work, from budgets and collections to patron and e-lending statistics. They also discuss overcoming obstacles to better, stronger partnerships, and new opportunities for collaboration.
Amy Mather will share how she is using contextual outreach to connect with the patrons at Omaha Public Library. Imagine that you are flipping through a magazine and you pause at an advertisement-now pause and think about why. That advertisement means something to you. In order to effectively market library services, we need to figure out how we create those pauses. The pauses or "connections" are created when we listen to our patrons and figure out how to market our collections and services to them.

'Library as Cause' for the Montana Library Association - 19 December 2017EveryLibrary
"The Library as Cause"- Successful political candidates know that the right way to connect with their voters starts by sharing their vision for the community they serve. For library funding - either at the ballot box or through donor support - your library strategic or facilities plan is where your vision and hope reside. In this session, learn how to create a 'fundable plan' using the tools of winning political campaigns to frame the community conversation. Join EveryLibrary's executive director John Chrastka for a practical session that will help you deploy effective communications - both positive and opposition messaging - and provide you with useful take-home exercises for staff and boards.
Presented by John Chrastka, EveryLibrary Executive Director

Many libraries are acquiring much more than an individual’s papers. They are also acquiring community-based collections. Community-based collections are those which have been amassed not by one individual but by a collective, which may take the form of a museum, ethnic or cultural organization, or other diaspora group active in the documentation of its past. Often these collections are emotional collections, in that they speak to the community’s heritage and identity. As such, these broad archives are extremely personal to those who collected and, sometimes created, the materials. When libraries work with community based collections, they navigate new territory In working with community-based collections, libraries are navigating new territory in integrating and stewarding these communities as well as more traditionally caring for the physical collection. An ongoing commitment to community engagement, with some level of shared governance or other collaborative activity to build, process, or publicize the collection, is often a key part of acquiring community-based collections.
Lee Rainie, the Director of the Pew Internet Project, will present the Project's latest findings about the changing role of libraries and patrons' interest in new services. He will also describe Project research into the way people use mobile devices and social media.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

There’s an opportunity because bookstores aren’t helping as much these days and Amazon has not picked up the slack
The next challenge is the explosion in the number of published books – the average library could buy 14,000 books annually in 1950 – and only 11,000 were published. In 2012, nearly a million books were published
Books aren’t as expensive as they used to be. Discovery may be a bigger issue than acquisition, so …
So why not be a showroom? Libraries can no longer archive books: it’s impossible. Do you care if your patrons buy instead of borrow?
The biggest opportunity for libraries comes at the intersection of collection development, reader’s advisory and visual merchandising
