Non-traditional
Jobs and Your Career
Jack
Bryan,
Retired, Director of Administration, SC Attorney General's Office
A scarcity of
jobs, some blogs full of comments about poor job satisfaction, and here
you are with a graduate degree in a stagnant economy. Hear from a
Davis grad who retired from a challenging and satisfying 31 year career
that included less than 12 months of formal library employment and the
hiring of four other MLS students or grads. Be introspective
about your education, experience and motivation to see potential jobs
and make yourself the outstanding applicant. This isn't a typical
library school and your job search need not be limited to the typical
library jobs.
Registration
Fee: $50.00

Davis College, USC, Columbia Campus

Patrick
Scott,
Director of Special Collections, USC Libraries

visitors, advertise and support other public programming and events,
and showcase library holdings. This workshop will discuss varied
goals for mounting a library exhibit, survey issues in choosing and
presenting items for display, and provide hands-on experience in making
simple exhibit mounts and other low-cost ways to enhance exhibit
effectiveness.

Writing Procedures
and Training Manuals for Libraries
Heidi
Hoerman,
School of Library and Information Science, USC
Oftentimes
a
library discovers it doesn't have a record of why or how it does
something until someone retires. Confusion results when there is
a difference between what a supervisor told someone to do and what they
heard. This workshop will introduce skills and tricks for writing
good manuals when time is short.
