Making it happen: Or how to keep the party going

Notas do Editor

  1. This presentation is going to be a big thank you to everyone who has worked with me on so many projects to MIH and what I learned from these experiences
  2. About me and Everylibrary
  3. 98% of library funding comes from the local level and completely dependent on local ballot issues and local politics. Your local voters matter most. When votes are that important, why aren’t we talking about it?!?!
  4. Today is the first day of your library campaign – Examples – People hate the education system, but love their teacher – People hate the Medical System but love their physician
  5. There are only two things politicians respond to
  6. Which can we expect to get? People – how do we get more people on our side? This is why I talk about library marketing in terms of community organizing and not in terms of sales. This doesn’t follow a sales cycle this is about continued engagement in libraries – a belief system It’s time for us to get more connected and organized and it starts with us!
  7. The first thing you need to do is identify your supporters or find them or build them
  8. This all comes out of ALATT and my experiences with other librarians.
  9. Incredible things happen to those who show up - I showed up to ALA Council and Aaron Dobbs made me run for council story
  10. Meeting JP Story
  11. Who helped introduce me to a lot of people - First ALA Story Vs Second ALA Story
  12. Why be friends and not just colleagues – invite people to hang out, be friends
  13. Social media (facebook groups, groupme), email, phone, text, etc… Don’t be scared to just message people
  14. Congratulate people when they win something or do something. Sometimes, even when you think it could have or should have been done better. Let them have their success – Train Library Story
  15. People love feeling useful, – Ben Franklin book story
  16. If you see someone is having a hard time, offer your help – DON’T JUST GIVE UNSOLICITED ADVICE!!!
  17. You won’t be able to control the projects or events or groups – ALATT story (why its not heavily moderated or controlled or professional or unprofessional)
  18. There are a lot of great events to attend, conferences and the typical thing but… Network After Work Story
  19. If you can’t find events you want to attend, create your own. Bay Area Librarians Story
  20. If there are events that you think should be better, create insurgent groups to help take it over or make the event the way you want it. – CLA Backchannel story
  21. Let people know that you remember them, its great to get a FB post tagged about some great experience we shared
  22. There are a lot of great opportunities, take advantage of them, be open to them.
  23. Organize your supporters in order to engage them more systematically
  24. Let’s go one deeper – Get even more organized
  25. My examples of success
  26. This presentation is going to be a big thank you to everyone who has worked with me on so many projects to MIH and what I learned from these experiences
