Change is all around us today. We change managers. We change the look of our buildings. We change our policies and procedures. Property taxes are cut. Our budgets are reduced. And sometimes we are told to change how our library will operate. It is important to understand that we as individuals must come to grips with the underlying psychological effects of major change. And if we do not, we will be ill-equipped to deal with that change and to help others deal with the change. Change can be effectively managed. Communicating information is critical. The more aware the management and staff are of the nature of the change, the more successful the change implementation process will be everyone involved. As a result of this workshop participants will explore: * To recognize that before we can embrace the way things will be, we must go through a process of letting go of the "way things use to be." * To see change as an opportunity for self-motivation and innovation. * To identify strategies for helping change to be accepted and implemented in the workplace. * The reasons why people resist changes in the workplace, including the four stages of coping with change. * To explain the five levers of organizational change management. * To describe the Pygmalion effect and how it can be used to shift perception and frame change. * The seven steps to becoming a change leader in their organization. * The four decisions management must make when communicating change. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be encouraged to complete an action plan for implementing specific goals created during the session.

Message-ID: <4905B75F.3000106@lmxac.org> An interesting view from the our compatriots in the historical and museum field: http://www.learningtimes.net/aaslhblog/ I do not see too much of this discussion on librarianship's side of the fence. If the current downturn is a one year temporary blip then so what. However if what we are seeing is an economic sea change, what is the impact? What are municipal and county libraries going to do when assessed equalized values go down and governments hold tax rates steady? In New Jersey, what are libraries supported at 1/3 of a mil planning if all those foreclosures reduced the assessed value? In New York, district public libraries have long been well-funded but is that a solid option if the troubled economic times continue? The Wall Street meltdown will drive down income tax revenues in both NY and NJ for a long time. Whence state aid? Cooperative ventures are wonderful but how do they stand up to shrinking budgets? If your library or library foundation has an endowment, what is a prudent course? How do you discuss with your staff providing 90% of the service with 80% of the resources (including staff members)? Is marketing to increase use warranted when use increases in hard economic times anyway? Many people are now thinking of postponing retirement. What effect will that have on new librarian and prospective librarians? I may be a friend of Chicken Little and a Cassandra clone (to add a fable and mythology to the Shakesperian term above) but I do know that planning for the worst when it already has arrived does not produce good solutions. I think this is the time to talk and, if I may refer to another fable, make sure our houses are made of brick and not straw. -- Robert J.

TOLL-FREE 888-308-8500 FAX 419-710-8235 EMAIL Jennifer Maupin jmaupin@walkerwirelessco.com Walker Wireless People Counter - Wall Mount Complete Battery Operated IR Counter with an Integrated Wireless RF Transmitter Main Features IR beam-interrupt 24-bit counter Battery life of IR Receiver: 2 years Battery life of IR Transmitter: 2 year typical Battery Type: 3.6 V Lithium. User replaceable Unique Serial Number to identify specific counter locations Integrated 6-digit LCD Integrated Mounting Flange for easy installation Typical indoor radio range up to 200 feet CRC-16 Error Checked Radio Data for accuracy Complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules (Click on Image to Enlarge) Only $499.00 Description: The Walker Wireless People Counter is a battery operated, infrared beam interruption sensor with a built-in 418 MHz radio transmitter. The people counter consists of two components; the IR transmitter and the IR receiver. The IR transmitter flashes high intensity IR which leads to easy, instant alignment and installation. The nature of these IR pulses is such that the IR receiver can distinguish them from any other source of IR. This characteristic allows the IR sensor to operate without interference from ambient lighting. The IR receiver has a 6-digit liquid crystal display and a radio transmitter for truly wireless installation and operation. These extremely small people counters, measuring only 1.7” x 3.1” x 0.8” (including mounting flange) and weighing only two ounces each, when applied to a surface facing each other, will cover a separation of 20 feet. ACCESSORIES COMPUCOUNT Collects and stores people count data from up to 16 counters. An ethernet connection to your computer permits viewing of the data from any standard web browser.Data is stored on a half-hour, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis. BOOSTACOUNT Pre-configured repeater to transmit the people count data through walls and floors to the CompuCount. Key Advantages Our complete wireless network costs less than just the electrical wiring for other systems. Measures across a 20 foot span. Everyone crossing the beam is counted.Our sensor is never confused by color or size. No electrical wiring needed. Small size, low weight, fast and easy installation.

The Monument, by Wyatt Prunty Standing apart yet oddly sequential In our timed and untimed arrivals, some Casually late, some impatiently prompt, But indeed all lining up respectfully, Just as the signs have said we ought to do, We watch the elevator dial start up then stop Then start again, sweeping along its scale As off ahead near where the line begins A mother reads aloud from a guidebook To her children, who yawn and do not listen... As the pulleys to the elevator drone, Spinning down through the shaft that takes us up, Till the ornate arrow slows and settles Over the double doors' subtractive whoosh And lets the crowd that's gone before step off And shoulder by without a single hint Why we should take their place, shouldering up, As now it's our time on the steep ascent, Where we will push then pause then crowd us through, Not seeing the symbol but the view.=20 ......................... Mediterranean, by Rosanna Warren --when she disappeared on the path ahead of me I leaned against a twisted oak, all I saw was evening light where she = had been: gold dust light, where a moment before and thirty-eight years before that my substantial mother stroke before me in a straw hat, bathing suit, and = loose flapping shirt, every summer afternoon, her knapsack light across her back, her step, in sandals, firm on the stony path as we returned from the beach and I mulled small rebellions and observed the dwarfish cork trees with their pocky bark, the wind-wrestled oaks with elbows akimbo, while shafts of sea-light stabbed down between the trunks. There was something I wanted to say, at the age of twelve, some question she hadn't answered, and yesterday, so clearly seeing her pace before me it rose again to the tip of my tongue, and the mystery was not that she walked there, ten years after her death, but that she vanished, and let twilight take her place-- .........................
