The Digital Library of Tennessee: Sharing Stories from the Volunteer State Recording | Slides
Presenters:
- Meredith Hale, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
- Jennifer Randles, Tennessee State Library and Archives
- Carolyn Runyon, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
In 2019, the Digital Library of Tennessee (DLTN) launched a new website that provides access to unique primary source materials, including maps, musical performances, photographs, newspapers, postcards, and oral histories. Currently, this is the only site that aggregates cultural heritage materials from across the entire state. While these resources are also available through the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), the portal focuses exclusively on the approximately 125,000 records shared by Tennessee rather than the full 35 million records available through DPLA. It also features curated topics, like “Winning the Right to Vote”, to provide easy entry into the records for both librarians and the public at large. This webinar will highlight the special features and content found within this open access website. In addition, we will provide information on how institutions of all types can contribute to the portal to enhance Tennessee’s cultural presence.
Positive Organizational Shenanigans: From Interview Through Retirement - Crafting Team Victories Driven by Kindness
Presenter: Christina Riedel, Clarksville-Montgomery Public Library
Building a solid operational foundation for your library should be created in concert with your teammates at every level in mind. Crafting internal training systems that are consistent, informative, and engaging from the interview process to the day a teammate retires is one of the most important things you can do for your library. The values of your organization should be deeply imbedded in this training program. Job descriptions should clearly define the scope of the position, expectations for performances and required interpersonal skills. Developing core competencies by leveraging the expertise of your team members is crucial. This training is a how-to of the above with humor.
