The Notable Reports Panel Strikes Again: WAPL 2017WiLS
From the Wisconsin Association of Public Libraries 2017 conference and presented by Vickie Stangel, Director, Dodgeville Public Library; Kelly TerKeurst, Director, Dwight Foster Public Library (Fort Atkinson); Gus Falkenberg, Technology and Design Director, Indianhead Federated Library System (Eau Claire); Cindy Fesemyer, Director, Columbus Public Library; Sara Gold, Community Liaison and Service Specialist, WiLS; Andrea Coffin, Community Liaison and Service Specialist, WiLS
Back by popular demand! Each year, a number of new reports about public libraries are produced by organizations like Pew, OCLC, Library Journal, The Aspen Institute, and others. These reports contain valuable information that can help us plan, develop services, and improve existing services, but unfortunately, few of us have the time to read every single one. The goal of this session is to help attendees get an overview of those reports and their implications for our work. Each panelist will share a summary of a report they believe is significant and discuss how they have used or will use the information at their library. Attendees will be encouraged to share other reports and insights that have mattered to them, too!
Carol Sabbar, Director of Library and Instructional Technology Services, Carthage College
LibGuides is an amazing tool to provide, present, and promote library research resources to your community. But it can also present other various tools outside of traditional bibliographic instruction. See how Carthage College has leveraged LibGuides to promote resources and tools for statistics, language learning, preparation for grad school exams and more. We have implemented this in our academic library, but we think our uses will inspire libraries of many types to use this powerful tool in new and creative ways.
Digitization Basics for Archives and Special Collections – Part 1: Select and...WiLS
Emily Pfotenhauer, Recollection Wisconsin Program Manager, WiLS
This is the first part of a two-part, full-day workshop introducing the core elements of creating digital collections of historic photographs, documents and other archival materials. Part 1 focuses on selecting materials to digitize and the basics of reformatting. We’ll start with some recommendations for planning a successful project and consider how your digital collections can fit into the statewide and national landscape of digital content. We’ll discuss copyright concerns in order to help you answer the question “CAN I put this online?” And we’ll explore the vocabulary of digital images, including pixels, resolution and bit depth as well as tools and best practices for scanning photographs and documents.
Digitization Basics for Archives and Special Collections – Part 2: Store and ...WiLS
Bradley Shipps, Continuing Education and Outreach Librarian, Outagamie Waupaca Library System
This is the second part of a two-part, full-day workshop introducing the core elements of creating digital collections of historic photographs, documents and other archival materials. Part 2 focuses on sharing your digitized materials with the world and steps you can take to ensure that they’ll remain usable and accessible into the future. We’ll define metadata and why it’s important, and consider approaches to creating descriptive metadata for discovery of historical resources. We’ll examine the issue of digital preservation, including practical steps you can take to preserve your digital content with limited resources. And we’ll think about digitization as a path to community engagement, including reaching out to your community for content and promoting your digital collections to your users.
Sharing the Love: Working with the Community to Create Engaging Social Media ...WiLS
Angela M. Vanden Elzen, Reference & Web Services Librarian, Lawrence University
Holly Roycraft, Library Secretary, Lawrence University
Many challenges arise when managing a library’s social media presence, though the biggest is often generating engaging and interesting content. At Lawrence University’s Mudd Library, we’ve begun the shift from trying to create content our target audience wants, to asking them to generate it for us. We’ll share how we have been able to work with other campus departments, students, alumni, and faculty to provide concrete examples of what the library can do for our patrons- and how we have been using social media to share these stories. Attendees will be highly encouraged to share their own social media stories.
Audiovisual Digitization and Quality Control: How do people really do this?WiLS
Charles Hosale, A/V Project Archivist, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Archives
Dana Gerber-Margie, Audio Archivist, Wisconsin Historical Society
Is your organization facing a collection of aging a/v formats that you wish to digitize for preservation or access, and you’re not sure how to proceed? UWM Archives A/V Project Archivist Charlies Hosale and WHS Audio Archivist Dana Gerber-Margie share their respective experiences with vendor based and in-house digitization of audio and visual materials such as VHS, 35mm film, audiocassettes, and vinyl. Dana will discuss the innovative in-house digitization initiatives at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Charles will present UWM’s quality control workflow for A/V materials that utilizes open source programs, such as Sonic Visualizer, QCTools, MediaInfo, and Fixity to ensure the fidelity of digitized records. Attendees will leave with an introduction to current A/V digitization and quality control topics and techniques, practical understanding of and exposure to relevant software and resources, an implementable A/V digitization workflow designed for use in small and middle-sized cultural heritage institutions, and the feeling that they too can tackle A/V materials without being format and digitization experts.
Turning Numbers into Knowledge: A Statistics DashboardWiLS
Gus Falkenberg, Technology and Design Director, Indianhead Federated Library System
We are often swimming in data we collect about our patrons and their usage of our library resources, but how can we make sense of those numbers in a way that will help us improve or adjust our services? In this presentation, you’ll learn about a statistics dashboard created by the Indianhead Federated Library System for member libraries to see and interpret data collected from a variety of sources in order to get a fuller picture of library resource usage. This dashboard incorporates ILS data, e-materials information, and wireless and computer usage into visual data display to help libraries further understand how their resources are being used by their communities.

Kelvin Watson, Vice President Digital Services & Strategy and Interim Vice President Information, Technology, and Development, Queens Public Library
Libraries invest with a variety of eResource providers to license a rich array of eResources for its patrons and are sometimes forced to rely on a complex set of proprietary interfaces to navigate and deliver them. Only the most savvy patrons are able to keep track of a large number of separate usernames and passwords and website URLs. Even when this barrier is crossed, accessing the eResource (or even finding out what is available) requires the user to follow links out of the library’s system and over to the eResource provider’s system. These systems are often “walled gardens,” where the eResource provider, not the library, controls the user’s experience, and it is difficult for the user to make their way back to the library site if they don’t find what they need on the vendor’s site. This complexity hinders the patron’s ability to easily discover, engage with, and consume the library’s valuable investments and instead often concludes in frustration and failure. The Queens Library has embarked on a project to radically improve the way library patrons discover and access eResources. Queens Library intends to create a Virtual Library System that will provide a best of breed solution for accessing eResources for all of Queens Library’s patrons. This System will eventually allow Queen’s patrons to have seamless access to digital materials all within Queens Library’s own web and mobile interfaces. This system will replace the unwieldy model that creates many barriers for users looking to access digital content, barriers that run the range from software that is too complicated for those with little digital experience to navigate, to the lack of access to devices on which content can be consumed. Libraries have to continue to reach beyond the confines of its physical locations and extend its presence into people’s homes by providing devices that will let patrons interact more deeply with the Library’s offerings. The Virtual Library System will keep Queen’s Library’s doors open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and shifts the balance of power from providers to libraries and patrons.
Matt Mulder, Chief Community Engagement Strategist, Demco
Kimberly Young, Former Deputy Director, Brown County Library
In the past decade, the United States Department of Agriculture has been focusing on issues surrounding food deserts—defined as urban neighborhoods and rural towns without ready access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food. Food deserts are identified by using census data and GIS mapping tools. Those living in a food desert tend to be low-income or elderly. This lack of access to quality food results in a poor diet and in higher food expense as the residents tend to rely more on fast food restaurants or convenience stores.
Building on the concept of the food desert, we began to wonder if there might also be a literacy desert—an area that has a high-probability of having a large number of children at risk of not becoming proficient readers. If we could identify areas of a community that were most likely in need, we could develop programs, outreach efforts and services to help address this need.
Our findings were clear—literacy deserts are real, and in some cases, growing.
Matt Mulder, Chief Community Engagement Strategist at Demco, will identify and define literacy deserts in Brown County and several other Wisconsin communities and discuss how the concept can also be applied for other core service areas. Kimberly Young, Former Brown County Library Deputy Director, will discuss the process of identifying Brown County as a literacy desert, how a plan was created to address it, and provide case studies from two other communities.

Teacher librarians are standing on the brink of a fantastic opportunity to make themselves indispensible within their schools.
With hundreds of new libraries and thousands of student laptops currently being rolled out to secondary schools, this is the perfect opportunity for teacher librarians to embrace technology, develop a Professional Learning Network, upskill and become leaders in e-learning.
1:1 Community Interview Examples & Tips for LibrariesWiLS
Presented at WLA 2021 Annual Conference, November 19th, by Laura Damon-Moore, WiLS; Martín Alvarado, Madison Public Library; Jon Mark Bolthouse, Fond du Lac Public Library
In this session, attendees will hear about three different case studies for using 1:1 interviews as an information gathering method in a library or other municipal setting: 1) to learn how people currently use a city service and how that service might evolve to better suit community needs; 2) to learn about the wider community’s and individuals’ goals and aspirations, and challenges they see or experience in order to inform a library’s planning process; 3) to tell a more complete story of a community’s history through 1:1 interviews. Along with these case studies, session organizers will offer some best practices and practical tips for conducting 1:1 interviews to support these similar yet distinct information gathering efforts.
Presented for WLA 2021 Annual Conference, November 17th, by Melissa McLimans, WiLS and Kim Kiesewetter, WiLS

Join us to hear about Recollection Wisconsin’s Digital Readiness Community of Practice and how digital readiness applies to your organization. Then learn about how Door County Speaks, a real-life example of digital readiness concepts, responded to the community’s needs to provide oral history kits for collecting community memories and how the oral history kits have been used in the Door County Granary project. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to implement digital projects resources in their own organizations.
Can Do! The WiLS Toolbox for Building a Culture of Shared WorkWiLS
At the 2021 WLA Support Staff and Circulation Services (SSCS) conference, held on May 27th, our WiLS Administrative Team presented, Can do!: The WiLS Toolbox for Building a Culture of Shared Work. Lisa Marten, Rebecca Rosenstiel, and Melody Clark shared their favorite tools and strategies for streamlining work in a way that honors individual accountability and contributions, ensures everyone supports one another, aims to continuously improve, and builds a strong culture of teamwork. These practices have helped everyone stay engaged and know what’s expected of them and their fellow team members - and most importantly, it creates an atmosphere of fun and cooperation in our remote office. Our entire WiLS staff and our members reap the benefits of this high-functioning team! Check out their presentation slides and feel free to contact us at information@wils.org if you have any questions.
Setting Your Library's Course with Community DemographicsWiLS
Demographic data provides valuable insights about a community’s past, current, and future needs and can help libraries make critical decisions related to resource allocation, service provision, and even library staffing. This presentation covers what demographics are, how you can find them about your community, and how you can use the information to make data informed decisions for your library.
Presented by Kim Kiesewetter and Melissa McLimans for the Wisconsin Library Association's 1-Day Virtual Conference on November 11, 2020.
Lead the Way 2020: Facilitation Tools, Techniques, and Tips WiLS
Placing the community at the center of how the library plans and operates is vital, whether it is engaging residents to learn about aspirations or developing a collaboration with community partners. To be most successful when engaging community members or partners, quality facilitation is required. In this program, we share facilitator techniques and tools, including best practices for running effective meetings and holding conversations, that you can use to constructively manage both the process and people in different facilitation situations. In addition, we share our on-the-ground facilitator tips developed from our organization’s experience providing facilitation for different needs and environments.
Presented by Andi Coffin and Melissa McLimans for UW-Madison's Lead the Way conference on November 17, 2020
February 28, 2020. The WiLS 2020 Annual Membership Meeting shared with our members what we’ve been up to, including:
1) results of WiLS Ideas to Action Fund projects, including how those projects benefit other WiLS members
2) an update on the new WiLS business model, which has been developed to better align with our values and how we want to benefit the community
Presented by Maria Dahman, User Experience Researcher, University of Wisconsin-Madison for WiLSWorld 2019 on July 24th in Madison, Wisconsin.
You’ve gathered website analytics, run surveys, and observed how people use your website and other digital resources– now what? Impressive user research doesn’t matter much if the research isn’t used. More than just communicating what we learned in our research, communicating what we recommend for website or application improvements and framing the recommendations to our audiences in meaningful ways is a skill of its own. In this workshop, we’ll look at findings from several types of research projects and work through positive and negative examples of how the findings are used to create recommendations. This is useful for both qualitative user experience research (interviews, usability testing) and quantitative research (page analytics, usability scales). Be a better advocate for your users. Make the hard work from your interviews and other user research count!
Presented by Vicki Tobias, Program Coordinator, Curating Community Digital Collection & Recollection Wisconsin for DPLAFest 2019 on Wednesday, April 17 in Chicago, IL.
Curating Community Digital Collections (CCDC), a two-year, IMLS grant-funded program managed by WiLS and Recollection Wisconsin, a DPLA Service Hub for Wisconsin cultural heritage organizations. Launched in December 2017, CCDC aims to 1) provide digital stewardship practicum experience for information school graduate students; 2) to help small or under-resourced institutions in Wisconsin develop and sustain a digital preservation program; and 3) to build community around digital preservation work within Wisconsin and beyond.
Building Belonging: Libraries and Social JusticeWiLS
Presented by Sarah Lawton, Neighborhood Library Supervisor, Madison Public Library for WiLSWorld 2019 on July 23rd in Madison, Wisconsin.
Libraries exist at the intersection of institution and community, an opportune space for building compassion and supporting collective action. Sarah will explore the ways that libraries around the country are working with their communities to challenge systemic racism, break down barriers, and confront oppression.
Presented by Rebecca Stavick, Executive Director of Do Space, Co-Founder of Open Nebraska for WiLSWorld 2019 on July 23rd in Madison, Wisconsin
Disrupting the status quo is difficult and uncomfortable work. In the Midwest, as well as in the library profession, we often value being polite over challenging the established way of doing things — even if those things are holding us back. In this talk, Stavick will discuss how the future of libraries depends on our ability to turn uncomfortable conversations into positive action. Attendees will learn how to think like a hacker in order to overcome barriers in their work, and how to leverage the philosophy of #goodtrouble to empower our communities.
Choosing Privacy: Raising Awareness and Engaging Patrons in Privacy IssuesWiLS
Presented by Rob Nunez, Division Head for Support Services, Kenosha Public Library for WiLSWorld 2019 on July 23 in Madison, Wisconsin
Personal privacy is no longer a guarantee in today’s society, but libraries are still seen as a safe haven for the public. While libraries change to keep up with technical needs, there are times we are swept up with whether or not we can, we never stop to ask if we should. With some libraries sharing full patron records with school administrations and others being tempted to bring in facial recognition into their spaces, it’s still a professional duty to respect and promote privacy. In this talk we will cover the ALA Privacy Subcommittee’s work, and what libraries can do to get involved.
The Library as Publisher: How Pressbooks Supports Knowledge SharingWiLS
Presented by Steel Wagstaff, Educational Client Manager, Pressbooks for WiLSWorld 2019 on July 23rd in Madison, Wisconsin.
Pressbooks is an open-source book publishing platform that makes it easy for authors to publish books on the web and produce clean, well-formatted exports in multiple formats, including ebooks, print-ready PDFs, and various XML flavors. In this presentation, Pressbooks’ educational client manager Steel Wagstaff will outline the values and principles that have motivated the development of this platform and share some of the ways that libraries (both academic and public) and other educational institutions are using Pressbooks to publish a wide variety of content, from openly licensed textbooks to self-authored novels and just about everything in between.
WiLSWorld 2019 Lightning Talks: Community Engagement ShowcaseWiLS
Presented by Jennifer Bernetzke, Schreiner Memorial Library;
Kristen Leffelman, Wisconsin Historical Society; Kristen Maples, UW-Madison iSchool; Tessa Michaelson Schmidt, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction; Jane Roisum, Fox Valley Technical College; Tasha Saecker, Appleton Public Library; Kristen Whitson, UW-Madison iSchool for WiLSWorld 2019 on July 23rd in Madison, Wisconsin.
Wisconsin libraries are “turning outward” in all kinds of creative ways to cultivate positive change in their communities. Hear about a wide range of community engagement projects, including successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
Engaged and Thriving: Building Peer Support Systems for StaffWiLS
Delivered by Kim Boldt, Branch Manager, Milwaukee Public Library; Melody Clark, Community Liaison and Service Specialist, WiLS; Andi Coffin, Community Liaison and Service Specialist, WiLS; Nathan Dowd, Library Director, Edgewood College for WiLSWorld 2019 on July 23rd in Madison, Wisconsin.
According to a Gallup study, employees who are “engaged and thriving” are 59 percent less likely to look for a job with a different organization in the next 12 months. How do people stay “engaged and thriving?” One key component is feeling supported. The structure in organizations to support employees is more than just chance, and thoughtfully developing a structure for peers to support one another can be a valuable component in developing employee well-being.. In this program, presenters will share deliberately developed approaches to peer support in their institution.
Productivity Tools You Won't Believe You Lived Without!WiLS
Presented by Melody Clark, WiLS and Sara Gold, WiLS for Peer Council 2019 on June 3rd at Madison Public Library in Madison, WI
If you are like us, you are always on the lookout for technology that will help improve your productivity, make better use of your time, eliminate duplicate efforts, and simplify processes. As a virtual organization, WiLS relies heavily on tools to help manage tasks and groups, improve communication, and streamline workflows. This session will share information about tools WiLS uses in everyday life for project management (like Basecamp and something we call "Megasheets"), communication (like Slack and Front), and data management (like Airtable). Feel free to bring your own favorite tools that help you in your work to share with attendees!
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
