Some components of a records management program are essential while others are elective, but even the key components require decisions regarding methods and philosophy. Those decisions should be based upon the organizational environment and reflect a results oriented approach. http://amazon.sjsu.edu/slisPod/colloquia/mara/sp09/2norris/maraNorrisSP09.mp4 56C99D59-EEEE-4796-9517-9D6E295F332A-494-00000385D113CD40-FFA Mon, 11 May 2009 13:19:34 -0700 Thomas Norris: Establishing an Effective Records Program: Considerations and Choices (MARA VIDEO) Establishing an effective new records program or overhauling an existing one so that the resulting program is truly effective requires a clear vision, careful planning, and judicious consideration of numerous choices.

Leadership, Motivation, and Career Planning (MARA VIDEO) [MARA Guest Lecture]<br /> <br /> Records managers are constantly faced with the challenge to perform in environments where their profession and responsibilities are not understood and often not appreciated. The keys to success include three vital factors: leadership, motivation, and career planning. Records managers must first lead and motivate their personnel to perform daily records management tasks with high quality. Leadership and motivation does not stop there, however, but extends also to gaining the commitment and participation of top management and other staff to the records management program. Success does not happen naturally. The successful records manager exercises leadership and motivation within a careful career plan. This presentation will examine key elements of leadership, motivation, and career planning designed to strengthen records managers in their daily efforts. http://amazon.sjsu.edu/slisPod/colloquia/mara/sp09/1andolsen/maraAndolsenSP09.mp4 9F884253-1CBB-40F3-94F6-A23FF5A79106-677-0000032BA7CAEE32-FFA Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:07:01 -0800 Alan Andolsen: Where do you want to go today?

Many find its expression dense and unapproachable, but it represents a holistic approach to recordkeeping independent of era, format and age of records. It encompasses both records management and archival practice thus providing a means of unifying the field of recordkeeping. This presentation uses approachable case study based examples to orient participants to the records continuum illustrating its utility as a thinking tool and a conceptual basis for approaching recordkeeping in the twenty-first century. http://amazon.sjsu.edu/slisPod/colloquia/mara/fa08/1reed/maraReedFA08.mp4 39E87501-6622-47E9-862F-278B3297FC83-736-00001C97CCFD0169-FFA Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:06:53 -0800 Barbara Reed: Understanding and applying the records continuum (MARA VIDEO) The records continuum theory and its more familiar representation in model form, is offered as an alternative to the linear representation of recordkeeping in the lifecycle model.

(VIDEO) After 15 years as a reference librarian in both public and academic libraries, Bryan made a transition to the information technology group at the Stanford Business School, where he’s been happily ensconced for the last 8 years.

Chat reference is a reference conduit completely based on real-time electronic interaction. The fundamental principle stays the same across all reference services – assisting users in fulfilling their information needs. But when it comes to the process of how reference services are conducted, chat reference has set itself apart from email-based or face-to-face reference. The difference exists in so many aspects that general reference competencies need to be reexamined to ensure quality performance in chat reference services. A two-stage study was conducted to determine essential chat reference competencies and effective training techniques to deliver them. Findings from this study and how they could benefit the professional preparation for chat reference librarians will be discussed in the presentation.

As you approach the fork, a bespectacled person wearing tweeds cautions "WRONG WAY! TURN BACK!" and waves you toward the e-portfolio. What should you do? Take the e-portfolio path of least resistance? Or ignore the danger signs, thumb your nose at the tweed-clad nabob of negativity, and take the road less traveled? This presentation demystifies the thesis option. It will examine some of the real and perceived obstacles to pursuing a thesis, outline the process, recommend strategies for plotting a successful trajectory, and suggest how you might use your thesis to boost your career.
