Librarians and faculty play a pivotal role in helping to foster that success through their choice of offerings, explains John Rennie, editorial director of McGraw-Hill Education's AccessScience, past editor in chief of Scientific American, and Carl Sagan Award winner for Public Understanding of Science - who has spent three decades communicating science to the public in print, online, and on television.

May 22 (10-11 am) / Transforming Library Space for Community Engagement (WebJunction)
As libraries expand their focus from collections to creation, physical spaces are being transformed in ways that enhance community engagement in the digital age. Rethink how your library's space might be configured to better enable your patrons to interact with technology and with each other. While future-facing libraries are pushing boundaries, the public still perceives libraries as being primarily about books. Learn how some key alterations to existing library space can refresh public perceptions. We'll look at a variety of projects, ranging from larger room renovations to smaller libraries who redefined space on a modest scale, yet still had a strong impact on the community.

May 29 (10-11 am) / Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Employees Want (Training Magazine Network)
Despite economic conditions, unemployment levels, or any other business factor imaginable, your best employees - the ones you need most - want one thing from you, plain and simple: to support their growth and development. Study after study confirms that development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving engagement, retention, productivity, and results. Yet, HR leaders know that career development is frequently the thing that gets sidelined unless or until the organization demands that some form be submitted during regular review cycles. This session sheds a much needed light on specifically what managers can do - within the time-starved, priority-rich, pressure-cooker environment in which they operate - to support employees' careers. And it comes down to this: engage in short, ongoing conversations with employees about their career options, needs, and passions. It's really that simple... and that complex.
