MINDSETS IN LIBRARIES: LESSONS FROM SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY   Alison Ambi   Thursday, November 24 | 1 - 2PM         Research in social psychology, the theory of Mindsets, has revealed that individuals' implicit beliefs about the nature of their abilities can influence how they respond to learning challenges, how they weather setbacks and how they react to feedback. This in turn can have profound consequences for their motivation and performance. There is also evidence to suggest that aspects of learning environments can affect individuals' mindsets. As hubs of rapid technological change and learning, 21st century librarians could fruitfully apply this knowledge to the benefit of our users, our colleagues and ourselves.

BUILDING DIGITAL COMMUNITIES   Bailey Parnell   Friday, November 18 | 11 - 12PM         With the mass use of social media, we are constantly inundated with stories from our friends, advertisements from brands, photos from celebrities and more. In this networked world, it is difficult to stand out and maintain an engaged audience. How do you create engaging content and active communities online?

BUILDING A CULTURE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE IN A LIBRARY   Jiselle Maria Alleyne   Thursday, December 8 | 2 - 3PM         Academic Libraries with a focus on Quality Assurance are characterized by strong internal systems that include robust metrics, reviews and assessments, performance indicators as well as a targeted focus on staff training and development in Quality Assurance Implementation. This road-map for Quality Assurance implementation and creating a culture of quality within the Academic Library is clearly outlined in the library's Strategic Plan and adherence to this plan sets the library on a path of continuous transformation.

MAKING MOVIES ON YOUR MOBILE   Kirsten Ng   Thursday, December 13 | 12 - 1PM         Whether we are novices or professionals, we can all become moviemakers on the go, thanks to some of the coolest apps for mobile devices.
