Workforce Development - Open Job Labs

Hi,
Due to the short turnaround time for several special reports, I am requesting that Open Job Lab statistics be entered into the blog on the day of the program from July forward. This will save you from recording and reporting the statistics twice. In addition, it will permit me to access statistics quickly to fulfill the special requests I receive.

If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss it with your Team Leader or Coordinator of Extended Hour Locations. Thanks!
Best regards,
Mary Wagoner

Ideas and Innovation

I attended a really interesting session at ALA on innovation in your library. The Orange County Library System in Florida has a really interesting blog that they use to share ideas called Orange Seed Ideas. It is similar to our suggestion blog here, but they have different pages for ideas in different stages. They also have an Innovation Champions team that helps ideas happen. Here's their blog http://blog.ocls.info/orangeseed/

And the powerpoint presentation for this session can downloaded here: http://ala12.scheduler.ala.org/node/304

I'd like to see our suggestion blog look more like Orange Seed Ideas. I like how you can see where the idea is in being implemented-there's even a section for ideas that maybe aren't right for right now, but there could be something there that could be revisited and implemented in the future or built upon.

If you have questions about the presentation, feel free to get in contact with me!
