Subject: [MNASIS-L] ASIST speaker series - Aug 9

 

"And Now for Something Completely Different" brain food sampler series 

Tuesday August 9th 5:00-6:30 

Speaker - Jerry Baldwin Library Director, Minnesota Department of
Transportation 

 

We want to invite everyone to a speaker series. The goal is to showcase
different information-related jobs and topics. The target audience is
twofold: folks who are scoping out potential careers and folks who want to
stay up on things in case someone at work asks and/or they are expected to
become (or know) an expert in a given area.

 

The format is informal, roundtable discussion. We will ask each speaker to
spend 30 minutes answering the following questions:

*         Who are you? 

*         What do you do? 

*         How did you get there? 

*         How could I do or learn to do what you do? 

*         If I needed to hire you or someone like you, what should I know to
make me a smart consumer?

Then we'll open it up for questions from attendees.

 

The August speaker is Jerry Baldwin and we've asked Jerry to approach this a
little differently. Jerry is an expert at calculating the value of his
library. He has spoken to groups across the US and has written articles on
the topic of detailing the value of a library and return on investment
(ROI). This should be an interesting session for anyone who has (or might
have) to prove the worth of their library to folks making the funding
decisions. We've asked Jerry to focus on his work with ROI when addressing
the questions above.

 

Here are the details:

Date & Time: 5:00 - 6:30 Tuesday August 9 (speaker starts at 5:30)

Place: Pad Thai 1659 Grand Ave just west of Macalester College (the old Red
Fish Blue)

RSVP: please send us a note if you will be coming atreacy at treacyinfo.com

Cost: None - in fact ASIST will pick up some appetizers; Pad Thai serves
wine, beer, and nonalcoholic beverages (drinks are on you).

 

Please feel free to forward this email!! 

 

 

Thanks!    Ann
