> Strategies for Applying Bookstore Insights to Library Collections
> (InfoPeople webinar)

> attractive, maintainable, and - above all - successful at increasing
> circulation? This webinar aims to supply librarians with the knowledge,
> tools, and plans necessary to merchandise their own libraries.
>
>
>
> Visual merchandising is not just a tool for retail establishments. When
> done well, it can create a dynamic environment that encourages the customer
> to stay longer, check out more materials, and return for more. Public
> libraries can embrace the knowledge that retail stores have long used by
> taking some basic steps and applying some simple principles to organize
> library materials in a way that attracts attention and promotes use.
>
>
>
> At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will:
>
>
>
> . Learn the importance of library material presentation through
> visual
>
> merchandising in terms of customer reactions and expectations, as well as
> cultural trends
>
>
>
> . Understand which changes to library merchandising should be
>
> considered to positively affect circulation and how to begin implementing
> those changes
>
>
>
> . Understand the basic principles of visual merchandising in a way
>
> that is specifically complimentary to books and other library materials
>
>
>
> . Be familiar with potential challenges and solutions that are
>
> inherent in the diverse buildings, shelving, staffing levels, and amount
> of materials owned by different libraries

> *Voter Perceptions of Libraries: Getting from Awareness to Funding in 2018*
>
> Tuesday, April 17, 2018 ♦ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ♦ 60 minutes
>
> Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/voter-
> perceptions-of-libraries.html
>
>
>
> In 2008, OCLC published *From Awareness to Funding: A Study of Library
> Support in America*, a study of the awareness, attitudes, and underlying
> motivations among US voters for supporting library funding. The research
> dispelled long-held assumptions and provided eye-opening insights about who
> supports public library funding and for what reasons. A decade later, OCLC
> has partnered with PLA and the ALA Office for Library Advocacy to
> investigate perceptions and support among US voters today, and how they may
> have shifted in the intervening years. In this session, presenters will
> share key findings and analysis from summary report (due to be released in
> late March); provide new details on library super supporters and probable
> supporters in context with other library trends and research; and kickstart
> the discussion on how library leaders and advocates can act on these
> findings.
>
>
>
> *Presented by: Marci Merola, Director, American Library Association Office
> for Library Advocacy; Larra Clark, Deputy Director, ALA Office for
> Information Technology Policy and the Public Library Association; and
> Sharon Streams, Director, WebJunction, OCLC Research*

>
> *Webinar Series: Evaluating and Sharing Your Library's Impact*
>
> Ensure your library’s programs and services are meeting patrons’ needs and
> exceeding expectations by using evaluation techniques that demonstrate
> results. This three-part webinar series on user-centered assessment and
> evaluation will help you go from gut instinct to data-supported proof.
>
>
>
> The first session is *User-Centered Assessment: Leveraging What You Know
> and Filling in the Gaps* is on April 24, 2018.

> *Building a Culture of Learning with Library Boards*
>
> Thursday, May 24, 2018 ♦ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ♦ 60 minutes
>
> Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/culture-of-
> learning-library-boards.html
>
>
>
> Libraries that cultivate a culture of learning encourage their staff to
> participate in continuing education. But shouldn't this learning culture
> also extend to library boards? At the State Library of Iowa, we say yes!
> Trustees can and should play a key role in fostering a culture of learning
> at their libraries—beginning with themselves. When library boards embrace a
> learning culture, they become more receptive to supporting continuing
> education, in policy, planning, and budgeting. This webinar presents ideas
> for growing board learning into a blossoming culture that motivates board
> members to see education and training as a natural part of their
> trusteeship.
