Changing workflows changing processes part 2NCLA2011
The library hired consultants to analyze workflows and recommend changes, including outsourcing processing, cataloging only to a basic level, and restructuring staff roles, which led to personnel reductions but increased efficiency and faster access to materials, though some expertise was lost.
The Acquisitions Department at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Libraries underwent restructuring due to budget cuts and changing needs. Two staff positions were reallocated to other departments, reducing the Acquisitions staff from 9 to 7. The department distributed responsibilities differently and provided training to adapt to new workflows. Changes were ongoing across the libraries to do more with fewer resources through efficiencies like copy cataloging and patron-driven acquisitions. Regular communication, training, and staff involvement helped manage the transition.
The first formal reading dog program called R.E.A.D. began in 1999 in Salt Lake City where therapy dogs listened to children read. Studies found that children who read to dogs improved their reading skills and had lower stress levels. Many public libraries now offer reading dog programs which are popular among both struggling and skilled young readers. The volunteers and their certified therapy dogs play an important role in helping children gain confidence in their reading abilities.
The document discusses measuring the value of resources provided by NC LIVE, a consortium that provides online resources to North Carolina public libraries.

The document discusses Central Piedmont Community College's use and promotion of LibGuides. Some key points:
1) CPCC created a template and pre-built content to provide quality control and speed up LibGuide creation. This includes common boxes, policies, and assigned subject librarians.
2) LibGuides are used for embedded librarian support in online courses through links from the course pages. General and class-specific guides are created.
3) Guides are promoted through signatures, blogs, and will be more prominent on the library homepage. QR codes in stacks link to subject guides.
The summary discusses the growth of an embedded librarian program at a community college from a pilot project with one class to serving over 1,400 students in 35 online sections across various subjects. It outlines best practices like using an online request form, personalizing the librarian presence, communicating expectations, and scaling the program to reach more students while maintaining a customized experience. Challenges addressed scaling up to all communication courses through a standardized online tutorial. Future plans aim to create tutorials for all English courses and expand the librarian presence in both online and in-person courses college-wide.
This document discusses using spreadsheets to process library statistics and database results. It provides an overview of spreadsheet terminology and functions. It describes how to rearrange and collate data from multiple sources into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets allow users to quickly sort, filter, derive information and collate data with less effort than doing so manually. The document provides examples and instructions for performing common spreadsheet tasks like transposing, freezing rows/columns, and special pastes.
LibGuides can be used as a content management system for library websites to allow librarians more control over web content creation and updating. It provides templates and reusable content that can be easily shared across sites. This helps address disconnects between library and IT priorities by giving librarians more autonomy while still maintaining a consistent and secure site structure. Some potential benefits highlighted include quicker content creation, increased departmental outreach, and a more dynamic website without extensive updates needed.

Librarian (spending approx. 15% of time on YA programming: 6th grade and up)
King Public Library (Stokes County)
sbrueckner@nwrl.org

General programming guide
•Inform staff of upcoming program
•Promote the program by 1) displaying posters in the teen area of the library; 2)emailing teens, teachers, church youth ministers,
and 4H group; 3) placing a large sign at library entrance; 4) speaking to teens at the library
•Always have food and drinks. I routinely ask for and receive free pizza and wings from restaurants in King. I buy soda on sale. Keep
track of donations and send written thank you notes. Display the restaurant’s name at the program.

15. Program: Auto Driving Simulator
Contact: Davidson County Community College
Randy Ledford; 336-249-8186, ext. 4753; rledford@davidsonccc.edu
This is a fun program for both teens and parents. For no fee, Davidson County CC will bring faculty experts and this large and
expensive piece of equipment to your library parking lot. The simulator is housed inside of a climate controlled trailer. They will
discuss why it was purchased and how it is used at the CC. Then, six at a time, teens/parents will be allowed into the trailer for a
driving experience. They will simulate driving under the influence, driving in inclement weather, driving at night, etc.
Since only 6 can be inside the trailer at a time, have games/crafts available for those that are waiting.
Program: Personal Word Cloud Poster
In this fun program each teen will create a personalized poster displaying words (usually adjectives) that describes his/her
personality, characteristics, and likes/dislikes. It requires access to the internet and a printer. A color printer is best but B&W works
fine. A projector would be helpful, but not mandatory. A nice touch is to laminate the posters after printing.
A word cloud is a visual representation of data, typically used to show the relative importance of single words. The more a word is
used, the larger it appears. Political pundits analyze politicians’ speeches using this type of program.
This software does not allow for easy direct printing. Essentially the word cloud will be copied and pasted into MS Word. Try this on
your own because the teens won’t read the procedure (see next sheet) and will have questions. Using a projector, briefly
demonstrate the procedure and give teens a copy. Then let the teens loose! Have a thesaurus or two available.
The procedure warns against making a colored background due to excessive ink usage.
16. HOW TO CREATE A WORD CLOUD POSTER
1. Go to www.wordle.net
2. Click on Create your own.
3. In the top rectangle, type your words/phrases. Put a space between each word.
4. Be careful and check your spelling very closely. Once you leave this page you won’t be able to return directly to
edit the words/phrases.
5. To make a word appear larger in your poster, type it more than once. The more you type the word, the larger is
becomes. Example: funny funny funny
6. To string words together, type a dash ( - ) between each word. Example: I-am-funny
7. To save your words/phrases (in case you find errors in the poster), right click and select all, then right click and
select copy. Then open MS Word and paste.
8. When you are ready to create the poster, click Go. If you find errors, go back to Create your own and paste in
your original words/phrases from MS Word.
9. You can edit your poster by clicking on Language, Font, Layout, and Color above the poster and Randomize below
the poster.
10. Please use a white background for the poster. Colored backgrounds will use too much printer ink.
11. Click on View, Zoom and change the size so that your entire poster can be seen on the screen at once (without
scrolling).
12. Once your poster is complete, press the print screen key (PrntScr). Minimize the screen and open MS Word. In
the toolbar, click on Paste.
13. Click on your poster. In the toolbar, click on Format and then Crop. Crop the poster to remove the unwanted
parts.
14. Click on Page Layout, then Margins. Select Narrow.
15. Click on the poster and drag corners to enlarge. Click on Print, Print Preview to view the poster. Change page
orientation (portrait or landscape) and poster size as required. Keep checking Print Preview.
16. Print your poster. Please print only one copy.
19. Popular “Teen Take Out” Programming Kits
at Charlotte Mecklenburg Library:

21. A college education can serve as a gateway to better options and more
opportunity, but while the importance of a college education is quite
evident for many high school students, what is often not as clear is
what choices are available, or how they will pay for that education.
The need for clear, reliable information about this important
decision is great. That’s why Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is
continuing with Operation College Launch, a series of programs
designed to provide teens with the information they need to realize
their dreams through higher education.
We invite you to attend and learn more about college and how to make
it possible.
