[R3librarians] Monday Motivations

[Cindy Franklin]

At the Round-Up Meeting on September 8th, I introduced the "Seven
Habits of Highly Effective Librarians". (see attached for
print-out version)




    Determine changes you have the power to make in your
library program 


    Determine the goal you want to reach by the end of the
year. 


    Create a step-by-step plan to achieve the goal.



    Determine who can help you achieve the goal. 


    Listen to know how you can help them, too. 


    Working together, we can achieve more. 


    Get the training you need to move forward.








It's time for each of us to do a check up:


    Which habits are we practicing?  


    Which habits do we need to work on? 


    Which habits do we need help with? 







Some of the things we talked about at the Round-Up as being within our
realm of control (Habit #1) are things like:



    Weeding the 900s and biographies in order to
improve collection age reports 


    Promoting the Texas Reading Lists appropriate for
grade level http://www.txla.org/html/reading.html 


    Changing reading displays at least
quarterly 








It's time for a habit check-up,
Librarians!
