Open Space Technology Exploration 10:30-2:30

This year's annual meeting features an exciting experience with Open Space Technology, led by Dr. Carol G. Henderson. The open structure of OST allows individual creativity to flourish, and group ideas to develop, in ways that enhance the future energy and effectiveness of groups and organizations. In this session, you will see how OST operates, and will learn how to use this powerful technique for the benefit of your workplace and your community. We will use the OST approach to explore questions at the heart of our work together as librarians and as members of SCRLC: How can we achieve greater cohesion and mutual benefit among librarians and library workers in this region? How can we create and support new and stronger collaborations between libraries and other potential partners? How can SCRLC further support us in achieving our hopes and dreams for the future of library services and organizations?

Buffet lunch will be served at 12:30.

Wrap-up 2:30-3:00
