When you are working “solo” or with only a few people, these stresses can be very intense. This 6-week course covers practical management techniques that will make it easier for you to decide among conflicting priorities. You have the opportunity to analyze the services you provide, study your customer or patron groups, and develop a plan for marketing and promoting a service of your choice. This course provides the added benefit of receiving feedback and guidance from the instructor, Maggie Weaver, who has years of experience working as a solo information professional and has taught several business courses for librarians. Students do not work alone, but discuss situations and ideas with Maggie and with fellow solos. "Great course, helpful information, good reading stuff and you'll have the feeling you learned something relevant for the real life" "Your confidence to talk to your boss will be increase at the end of week 6". "A good course for a one person library - really gets you thinking about your library and its services from a different perspective" For more information and to register go to www.plc.ischool.utoronto.ca or call (416) 978 7111.
