Leadership Development chat

Thursday, December 17, 2015

9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific

Facilitated by Teresa L. Knott (@tlknott)

When I was voluntold that I would be leading this chat, the suggestion was that we focus on formal leadership development programs. Some of the most visible programs are:

ALA Leadership Institute: Leading to the Future

ARL Leadership Fellows Program

Harvard Leadership Institute for Academic Librarians

NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows program

Various state or regional library associations have programs, too – New England, Maryland,Texas

 Questions that we might discuss include:

·         Are there key principles for successfully applying?

·         What are the benefits to participating?

·         If you attended more than one, which was better and why?

·         Many of these programs are focused on mid- to upper-level leadership. What topics do you believe earlier career librarians need to know more about?

Journal Club: Research Data Management

Thursday, December 10, 2015

9:00 PM Eastern / 6:00 PM Pacific

Led by @TonyNguyen411 

Breaking News: Authors Alisa Surkis (@asurkis) and Kevin Read (@ReadKev) will join us during the discussion! 

We're having a Journal Club discussion Thursday! The article I selected is:

Surkis A, Read K. Research data management. J Med Libr Assoc. 2015 Jul;103(3):154-6. doi: 10.3163/1536-5050.103.3.011. PubMed PMID: 26213510; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC4511058. Available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26213510.

There’s a lot to consider and discuss in just a few pages!

Researchers are starting to care about data and data collection, especially since funding could be reliant on a data management plan. Should libraries care about data management? What can libraries do to get started? Have you started to support data management within your institution? Are there any challenges you’ve come across and advice you can share with others?
