Roundtable Informational Interest Meeting
Roundtables and Counterparts are informal opportunities for folks who do similar jobs to gather together to share ideas, to crowdsource solutions, and to celebrate one another's successes. Several in-person and virtual roundtables exist, but there is plenty of room for more!
This interest meeting is an opportunity for those of you interested in forming a roundtable to learn more about what it takes to start one. (Spoiler alert--it's relatively easy to do!) Join Beth Yates and other members of ISL's Professional Development Office as they share advice and best practices on starting roundtables, connect you to an existing roundtable on your preferred topic (if it already exists), and help you get organized so you can start your own.
The desired outcome of this interest meeting is that several new in-person or virtual roundtables will be jumpstarted, increasing the opportunities for Indiana library staff to connect with neighboring colleagues. Anyone working in an Indiana library, who is interested in starting or participating in a roundtable, is welcome--this could include youth services, adult services, circulation, cataloging, marketing, and more. Please bring your questions about starting and managing roundtables! Existing roundtable leaders are also invited to attend and to share information about their meetings.
This meeting will be worth 1 Roundtable LEU. A maximum of 10 roundtables are allowed in a 5-year period and are only allowed for those holding 5 year certificates.
