If you've picked up a conference program lately, you are well aware that so many of the conversations that librarians are having focus on the hurdles to establishing relationships with faculty members and the issues that arise when attempting to collaborate across sectors. In honor of this year's theme, this session aims to move beyond all of that gloom and doom. Those of us having these conversations and running into these barriers are obviously very convinced of the value of collaboration so let's talk about the positives for a change--let's talk about intrasector collaboration.
This lively discussion will focus on libraries collaborating with libraries, librarians collaborating with librarians, and librarians collaborating with library school students. We'll discuss best practices for saving time, saving money, and saving the future of the profession through working with colleagues who are just as eager to collaborate as we are. Advisory board members from Libraries Thriving, the online community for librarians interested in e-resource innovation and information literacy promotion that was conceived during a 2010 Charleston Conference plenary session, will share their experience with working in these areas and attendees will be invited to join in with their stories, experiences, and questions. Come with a positive attitude towards collaboration and leave with ideas about how to better your working relationships with colleagues.
Ambient Interface by Real World InteractionNECIndia
The document describes NEC's ambient interface technology which allows for intuitive interaction with cloud applications without input devices through gesture recognition and image projection. The system uses a movable camera and projector to provide touchless control over services and enable wide-ranging interactions. It was designed for applications like digital signage and file transfers between terminals.
The document provides guidance on writing persuasive sales messages and collection letters. It discusses identifying the product or service being promoted, the intended audience, and desired results. It recommends using the AIDA model to structure messages - getting Attention, arousing Interest, generating Desire, and encouraging Action.

The document discusses strategies for implementing risk management in organizations. It covers developing incentives consistent with risk-taking, decentralization and the risk of over-conservatism, evaluating risk attitudes through utility functions, and establishing appropriate incentives through alternative personnel evaluation plans that separate outcomes from decisions.

This document provides an overview of a webinar on developing skills for educational and workplace success in the 21st century. It discusses challenges employers face with new graduates lacking key competencies like problem-solving, critical thinking and information literacy. Presenters address how to better integrate these skills through teaching students the "cultures" of academic disciplines and workplaces. They emphasize understanding each field's knowledge base, beliefs and methods. The document also summarizes a survey finding major skills gaps employers face and recommendations for assessing and addressing gaps through targeted training solutions.
The document discusses how to compare job offers by accounting for differences in cost of living between locations. It provides examples of Sara and Joe receiving offers in different cities and walking through the calculations to determine the equivalent salaries based on each location's cost of living index. For Sara, the offer in Reno is better even before benefits are considered. When benefits are added, the Reno offer remains better. For Joe, the Denver offer is better both with and without benefits included in the calculations. The document emphasizes the importance of considering cost of living differences and benefits when evaluating multiple job offers.

The document discusses the debt crisis facing peripheral Eurozone countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain. While each country had different economic issues before the crisis, all are now dealing with large public debt burdens. The document analyzes whether the Eurozone constitutes an optimal currency area and concludes it does not fully meet the criteria. Monetary policy favored Germany over converging countries, exacerbating internal economic imbalances. For debt levels to stabilize, peripheral countries will need better fiscal discipline and time, as sudden austerity could be counterproductive.
La educación secundaria es el nivel educativo que continúa la educación formal después de la primaria y es la última etapa de escolaridad básica obligatoria, debiendo articularse con los niveles preescolar y primaria para formar un solo ciclo educativo con objetivos y prácticas pedagógicas comunes que contribuyan al desarrollo de los estudiantes y su formación como ciudadanos democráticos.

Kate Nevins, CEO of LYRASIS, spoke to the Spring 2012 Learning Community about collaboration. She discussed how library cooperation requires communication and working together.

Library consortia in particular allow for sharing programs, resources, and expertise across different library types and geographical areas. Nevins took questions from the group about effective collaborations, challenges, and decisions facing library consortia.
