Leading in Difficult Times
SirsiDynix Institute 
offers wonderful webinars every once in a while, presented by leaders in the library community. I recently sat in on one presented by Kitty Pope, executive director of the Alliance Library System in Illinois, entitled "Leading in Difficult Times."
Pope's presentation was based on a series of articles she has been writing over the course of the last few months as she explored ways to control the fear and worries of those she advises and to replace the fear with courage and hope. The articles have been published under the heading "On a + Note" and are available, along with the slides from her presentation, on her system's web site.
Take a look at the articles and see what you think. I found them practical, inspiring, and just plain good advice. If you like what you read, drop her a note - she'll send you her articles via email each week.
Oh, and by the way, you can subscribe to SirsiDynix Institute's programs in iTunes or your RSS reader!

Yay! I'll have to check this out. The town I'm living in now (Normal IL) is part of the Alliance system! Neat to see how the two systems are connecting. Thanks for keeping me updated Beth and everyone at OWLS!
