The staff at NEKLS really, really wants to meet with the librarians who work in our region. We schedule lots of events both here at NEKLS (some of our watch parties have been pretty fun – and keep an eye out for more to come!!) and out in our member libraries (the recent Trustee Workshops, consulting visits, etc.) so that we can get a chance to meet face-to-face with the NEKLS area folks. While there are often scheduled things going on in and around the NEKLS building, we also want everyone to know that we are available for consultation and training – one on one or in a group – by appointment as well. We used to offer a Final Friday session for folks to come in and talk about anything they wanted, but that has been replaced by a more general invitation – if you want to talk about your library, your library’s technology, your library’s catalog, your library’s finances, your library’s training needs or anything in between those topics, make an appointment to talk to one of us (Mickey, Heather, Robin, Ryan, Patti, Laura or Dan) at any time. We can do one-on-one sessions or group training sessions!
For our recent NExpress Users Group meeting on the 29th, we tried something new – we opened a Collaborate webinar session and invited people to join us in our meeting that way. 5 librarians took us up on that offer!! You can view the archived recording of the meeting at the Collaborate Archives and, because the experiment was a success, you can join us through the webinar interface for our November meeting. Of course, we encourage you to come in person – we never did figure out how to get the cake we served in celebration of 5 years of Koha out to our remote attendees…
Come see us any time or ask us to come see you – we are always ready and willing to meet with our NEKLS librarians!!
