What's Up Wednesday - Microsoft Teams for Libraries Online
Join us for an insightful webinar designed specifically for libraries on how to use Microsoft Teams as an effective communication tool at all levels of your organization. Learn from Emily Ellis, Director of Greenwood Public Library, as she shares her 18 years of experience transitioning staff from tools like Google Docs and Trillian to Teams.
Topics include:
- Streamlining communication with department-specific Teams and special project channels.
- Best practices for staff training and a smooth rollout.
- How to use Teams for transparency, quick access to information, and efficient project management.
Believing strongly that some change is good, Emily Ellis has 18 years of experience working with an amazing staff who is adverse to "new" - especially technology. While serving as Assistant Director she somehow managed to get her building of 30+ employees to not only start using Microsoft Teams, but embracing it as a positive...over the course of a year. Now as Director of Greenwood Public Library, she is dedicated to finding other "new" ideas that improve communication, efficiency, and productivity within her building.
