Managing Library Technology

Managing Library Technology: Keeping All the Balls In The Air

Thursday, October 20, 2016 ? 3 pm Eastern / 12 pm Pacific ? 1 hour

Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/managing-library-technology.html

Managing library technology isn’t just about the technology. It involves fine juggling skills to manage people, workflows, procedures, policies and more?all while prioritizing, delegating and tracking. Just preparing staff effectively for upgrades or changes to technology takes finesse. How does one person do it all? Strong project and time management skills are key. Regardless of your job title, and whether working with a small team or a library-wide technology committee, anyone can learn smart practices to keep everything, and everyone, in motion and on target.
