Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library.
Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

While every library is unique, they all seem to share one thing in common: they could use more money! Grant funding might be the just thing to help buy technology for STEM programming, get a new service initiative off the ground, or complete a renovation. But applying for grants can be overwhelming – and that’s assuming you can even find one for which you qualify. This session aims to introduce you to the tools to make the grant application process more easily navigable. In this session, Kathryn will provide tips for putting your best foot forward when it comes time to submit your proposal. Handouts include a roadmap to success and descriptions of various sections of the application.
Presenter: Kathryn Brockmeier, Grant Consultant.

Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective? How do you know what to measure, or how to measure it? There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Big Talk From Small Libraries: Blissfield Reads Handout
1. “I’m Gonna Make You Famous”: Raising Consciousness and Building Community on a 3-inch Screen
Bob Barringer barringer@blissfieldlibrary.org
Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library, Blissfield, MI www.blissfieldlibrary.org
TIME
I. Prepare: 4-5 hours
Decide on text: 1 hour to 15 years, give or take.
Is it in the public domain? Do you care?
Find electronic copy: 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Project Gutenberg www.gutenberg.org
Google Books books.google.com
Poetry.com www.poetry.com
Google Search www.google.org
Make Cue Cards: 1 hour or less, if you know how to type or can paste in an e-copy.
Announce filming by writing a press release, mass email, facebook post, and making posters: 2 hours.
(Optional . Necessary if you want to bring people into the library for filming but contra-indicated for
ambush filming.]
Get everything ready: 30 minutes to 2 hours
Phone/Camera: Batteries, SD card, tripod. Turn off phone and wireless if using phone or tablet.
Script—gather cue cards in a folder, including a copy of the original for context. Take book.
Pens for autographs. Make sure they work.
Backdrop and props (in the library): Keep it simple. Keep it a library.
Game Face. Virtual Disguise.
II. Record: More time than you think. 8-10 minutes per reader, not including travel time.
Blissfield Reads “The Raven” (108 lines, 54 readers) took two 8-hour days to film in the field.
Blissfield in Love (28 readers) took 4 hours over two days, mostly in the library.
Blissfield Reads “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” (29 readers) took 8 hours over two days in the field
and at the library.
Allow time for “settling in,” rehearsal, re-takes, playback, autographs.
Allow more time for children. Get permission.
Allow no time for second guessing.
III. Edit: Less time than you think. 3-4 hours.
5 hours for The Raven (and teaching myself to use Windows Movie Maker).
2 hours for the others.
Time does not include choosing music but does include laying the music in.
IV. Choose Music: 1-2 hours, 2 Excedrin:
Incompetech.com incompetech.com
Partners in Rhyme www.partnersinrhyme.com/pir/free_music_loops.shtml
www.partnersinrhyme.com/midi/index.shtml
V. Post to facebook and Send individual mass e-mail: 1 hour (plus email pilfering).
VI. Put up still image and autograph display in the library: 2 hours.
Total: 24 hours
2. MONEY
I. Recording Device (Phone/Camera/Camcorder):
Your Phone:
Free (at least for the library if you don’t use it as an excuse to have the library buy you a phone).
Advantages: Free. Only expense is for batteries and perhaps an SD card. Can use wireless or
mobile broadband to connect directly to Facebook or your computer.
Disadvantages: possibly a lower-end camera, no zoom, limited focus or lighting adjustments,
poor sound recording.
Digital Camera or Camcorder:
$100 (and even cheaper but you may as well use your phone, at that point) up to very expensive for
near- professional models.
Advantages: Actually intended to be a camera. (Even better when it is actually intended to
record video). No competition for resources from other functions. Better video and
audio. Not all that expensive, relatively-speaking, when compared to expenses for large
print books or decaffeinated coffee or printer cartridges. Good camcorder models
available for $200. You can also get tripods, external microphones, and other
accessories that will help improve quality and extend capability, but, of course, at
additional expense.
Disadvantages: Any additional expense may be hard to justify, although you would be able to
record all library programs and post the videos to facebook and the library website, so it
wouldn’t be a one-trick pony. Must use cords or memory cards to transfer images.
I don’t pretend to be an expert. Here are links to a couple of recent reviews from folks who do:
PC Magazine www.pcmag.com/reviews/camcorders
Consumer Reports www.consumerreports.org/cro/camcorders.htm
II. Editing Software:
Windows Live Movie Maker:
Free. Comes standard with many computers these days and a free download, otherwise (check to
make sure your computer meets the specifications required). Very easy to learn and use.
Adobe Production Premium:
Creative Suite 6, the latest version, available through Tech Soup for $150. List price is over $1400.
Whiz-Bang stuff that presents a relatively steep learning curve. Uses more computer resources
than Movie Maker.
Total: $0-350
III. Incidentals:
Even if you spend money on the camera and the software, these would be one-time (or, at least,
infrequent) expenses. If we assume you have the necessary computers, printers, and internet
connections and don’t count those, you’ll incur continuing expense for your (and other staff’s) time, as
well as nominal expenses for printing costs for cue cards and displays, camera batteries, memory cards
and other accessories (most of which are optional), and any travel-related costs.
3. [Permission List for Minors]

that you have the authority to grant permission for the filming of the listed child
