[LM_NET] Reminder: YALSA Online Chat on Taking Risks Tomorrow Night

[Stephanie Kuenn <skuenn@ALA.ORG>]

Greetings!

 

YALSA will now host online chats in its space in ALA Connect,
http://connect.ala.org/yalsa, on the first Wednesday of each month from
8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern. Please join us tomorrow night for a chat on
taking risks in teen services, hosted by Linda Braun, YALSA president,
and Connie Urquhart, a member of Braun's presidential advisory task
force. 

This chat will give YALSA members a chance to talk about risk in
libraries and how they make risk work for them in their careers and work
with teens. It will also be a time for participants to ask questions
about risk-taking and libraries. Topics for the chat may include:

*       What is risk and how does it play a role in teen librarianship?
*       How to be a smart risk-taker in the library and in a career?
*       What happens when a risk-taken doesn't have the expected
results?
*       How library programs and services can help teens be smart in
their own risk-taking?
*       What stories do echat participants have about their own risk
taking?
*       How can YALSA help members be smart about risk-taking in their
careers?
