ALCTS e-Forum: Project Management in Libraries

January 8-9, 2019

Moderated by Anastasia (Nastia) Guimaraes, Meghan Musolff, and Wendy
Tressler Jasper

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Many of us manage projects as part of our regular job responsibilities and
have developed project management skills and experience. Project management
as a discipline is gaining recognition in libraries as an important
mechanism to deliver efficient and improved project results. Increasingly,
libraries are hiring dedicated staff, with knowledge of project management
best practices to manage high-impact projects. During this e-Forum we will
draw on practical experience to discuss challenges of managing projects in
libraries, look at techniques and tools that could be easily applied by
anyone managing a project, and talk about ways to implement project
management in technical and collection services.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
