This year's Boot Camp is being held October 12-16, 2009, at the Hyatt at
Olive 8 Hotel in Seattle, Washington.

 

This is the 5th year PLA will be holding the "Results" Boot Camp.  This
weeklong workshop focuses on current library issues and concerns.
Attendees are encouraged to apply workshop exercises to the real-life
problems and issues occurring in their libraries.   PLA's Boot Camp is
designed to help you forge an effective management style by using the
publications in the 'Results' series and seeing first hand how they
interconnect.  By the end of the week you will have the skills you need
to develop and implement a strategic plan in your library.  You will be
able to:

 

*         Identify community needs

*         Understand and explain the recently revised public library
service responses

*         Write goals and objectives that will enable you to measure
progress toward achieving your strategic plan

*         Incorporate outcome measures in your strategic plan

*         Identify and select the most effective activities to support
the priorities in your strategic plan

*         Identify current staff workload and skills and determine the
staffing requirements to accomplish your selected activities

*         Understand the issues that affect the allocation of
collection, technology, and facilities resources in a Results
environment

*         Review your current library policies, regulations, and
procedures to ensure that they support the strategic plan

*         Manage changes in your library more effectively
