<p class="MsoNormal"><b>November 15 (1-2 pm) / Transforming Traditional Library Services: Text a Librarian – Ideas for Best Practices</b> (Infopeople)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The mobile revolution – the use of mobile devices to access information, communication, and entertainment networks and services from many locations – is one of the fastest, most pervasive technological revolutions
in the history of humankind. The pace of change, the plethora of devices and new versions, the battle for operating system supremacy, and the app explosion have resulted in a dizzying matrix of problems, challenges, and opportunities for libraries and library
workers. At the end of this one-hour webinar, the second of a four-part series, participants will: Understand how mobile reference services work, Identify some of the software/vendors that supply mobile reference services, Be familiar with the types of questions
best answered via mobile reference, and Share best practices for mobile reference services.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>November 15 (4-5 pm) / The Power of Data (AASL)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The Power of Data will explore the types of data available to school librarians and how the data can be used to support school library programs. Dr. Sandra Andrews will explore with participants a variety of datasets
at the local, state, and national level that include information on schools and school libraries. Participants will have the opportunity to compare local data with national data to determine how data can help in making decisions at the school level. The concept
of benchmarking will be explored and a demonstration of how benchmarking can be utilized will be explored. Topics will include using data for advocacy and communicating your needs and successes through the use of data.
