The Library as a Learning Organization: Adapting for Continuous Improvement through Training and Development

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-11-17) Copenhaver, Kim ; Frizzell, Matt ; Givens, Marlee ; Slutskaya, Sofia

Library work requires constant learning, whether due to organizational change, new technologies, or evolving user needs. A learning organization "facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself". Teaching and learning new skills can be rewarding, but also intimidating, frustrating, and time consuming. Research in fields of organizational psychology and human resource management points to correlation between satisfaction with workplace training and overall job satisfaction, and between job satisfaction and employee retention. This program will examine training and development methods from instructional design best practices, Lean management, Training Within Industry (TWI), effectiveness and assessment, and how it applies to access services / technical services training.

Technology, Tools, and Time: Implementing the SAA/ACRL-RBMS Standardized Measures and Metrics for Public Services in Archival Repositories and Special Collections Libraries at Georgia Tech

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-06-29) Reynolds, Alison

The Georgia Tech Archives and Special Collections started implementing the SAA/ACRL-RBMS Standardized Measures and Metrics for Public Services in Archival Repositories and Special Collections Libraries in 2019. Implementation occurred slowly in stages determined by institutional priorities, staff buy-in and training, departmental restructuring, and changes in library-owned technology and tools available for data collection. The statistics and metrics gathered through the use of these guidelines has helped us make data-driven decisions, increased the visibility of archival work within the library, and helped show our department’s impact to library and institute administration. This presentation will discuss the stages of implementation, various tools used to collect and manage data, including Aeon, Jira, Confluence, and Excel spreadsheets, and next steps as we move towards an increasingly digital environment.

Statistics and Metrics for Social Media

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-11-11) Reynolds, Alison

Social media is an excellent tool for telling stories and engaging users with archival collections across different platforms. However, social media changes rapidly and discovering the best ways to interact with users can be difficult. This session will explore ideas for archival institutions to use social media effectively, including determining audience, gathering data on user interactions, and dismantling barriers with content selection.
The Technical Services Learning Organization: Transformation Through Training and Development

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-06-26) Givens, Marlee ; Slutskaya, Sofia

Technical services departments are increasingly expected to do more with less, whether because of shrinking budgets, staff turnover, a lack of visibility, or insufficient understanding of their work on the part of administrators. Today’s next gen catalogs, diverse formats and delivery models, and changing cataloging rules demand that technical services professionals and paraprofessionals keep up with evolving best practices for the work they do. Finding a balance between meeting service demands and developing staff knowledge and skills is challenging. In this way, libraries are not unlike other organizations trying to stay effective, innovative, responsive and competitive in changing times. Like these organizations, libraries can adopt methods for developing a learning culture, incorporating formal and informal staff development into the everyday work of their employees, and using learning to continuously improve service delivery. This program examines training and development methods from instructional design, Lean management, Training Within Industry (TWI) and more, and discusses training materials and methodologies.
