3 Tips to Obtain an Effective Drunk Driving Lawyer or Attorney

Ryan: /* total discount */

I added "poor" to "Services to the Homeless" to make it a somewhat broader topic, because the Hunger, Homelessness, and Poverty Task Force lumps them together, and because it seemed like the best place for the [http://www.ala.org/ala/ourassociation/governingdocs/policymanual/servicespoor.htm Poor People's Policy].

I added the sub-category "Storytelling" to the "Programs for Children" category.

I rearranged the categories in the "Programming" category so that subjects relating to the various age ranges are grouped together in descending order (Adults, Young Adults, Children).

I'm at an ALA program on Rural, Native, and Tribal Libraries, and people have been talking about the need for more gathering places for information on these services. I just added the catagory to the wiki and will add more information soon!

== Staff Training Category ==

What do we think about creating a Staff Training category? Now, it is a subcategory of the Services for Specific People category. Being a staff trainer, I obviously looked for that first. I thought for a while that the category did not exist until I stumbled upon it.

I created a training category for [[Staff Training]] and [[Technology Training]]. Let me know if you'd like me to change that. I protected the page because for some odd reason that one page was getting hit by spam a few times every hour. [[User:Meredith|Meredith]] 22:05, 29 March 2006 (EST)

That was quick! I was showing my wife this wiki moments after I had placed this request and you had already rearranged it!

Does ''Technology Training'' need to be under ''Staff Training'' or is that category aimed at public training? I guess then the main header could be ''Staff Training'' instead of ''Training''. We consider Technology Training for the public to be a Program. Others may see it differently, though. Sorry if I'm being too picky.

This wiki will be a great resource. I have already begun spreading the word to our staff. Right now many people in our system depend on listservs to share information with other libraries. People end up deleting or filing emails away in some place they could never find them when they need them. Now, you don't have to worry because a wonderful reference system is already in place. . .I could go on and on. Anyway. Good job.--[[User:Kevindixon|Kevindixon]] 10:53, 30 March 2006 (EST)

Ok, I can just make a staff training section and staff tech training can be a part of that (or if it gets too big, it can become its own page). [[User:Meredith|Meredith]] 20:43, 30 March 2006 (EST)

Organizational Culture and Knowledge

2006-07-07T17:22:02Z

Ryan:

== What is Organizational Culture? ==

Edgar Schein defines culture as the "shared assumptions" of a group of any people. Essentially, as people live with each other, they build general assumptions about what is appropriate or inappropriate behavior. These behaviors develop over time either through systems of punishment and reward or through group knowledge exchange.

A good way to understand cultural behaviors is to describe them in "ought to" statements. For instance, "one ought not wear white sports socks with black dress shoes." In Western Society, failing to abide by this norm will result in the likely punishment of public ridicule or, if you are a celebrity, a spot in the "fashion disasters" section of a gossip magazine.

Organizational Culture, then, is the shared assumptions found inside an organization. These assumptions can include anything from appropriate language ("we ought to call the people we serve 'patrons' rather than 'customers'"), distribution of rewards ("higher paid positions ought to go to individuals carrying a professional degree"), to the broader purpose ("libraries ought to protect freedom of information").

Culture should be distinguished, however, from the espoused values of an organization. For instance, an organization may have a mission statement that refers to "customer focus," but have behaviors that suggest otherwise. It is important to recognize culture through behaviors rather than words. Thus, "how," "when," "where" and "by whom" something is said may be more important to understanding a culture than "what" is said.

== Libraries as Cultural Entities ==

== Cultural Entities Within Libraries ==

== Communities of Practice and Knowledge Sharing ==

Grass roots community efforts are engaging in interesting techniques to mine the knowledge of individuals so to help them solve their particular problems. These methods can be adapted to the workplace. Some examples:

[http://www.theworldcafe.com/ World Cafe] assumes that major change begins with the conversations of small groups of people. A very effective cross between talking to friends in a restaurant and musical chairs.

[http://appreciativeinquiry.case.edu/ Appreciative Inquiry] asks people to identify their idea world and then commit to taking steps toward that ideal world. Very inspiring and action-focused method of creating communities of practice.

[http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlissues/effectiveprac/effectivepractices.htm ACRL's Effective Practices Clearinghouse]

ACRL is frequently looked to and contacted for descriptions of effective practices in the academic library profession. The goal of the Effective Practices Clearinghouse is to recognize effective practices in academic libraries in areas such as programs, services, facilities, technology, and initiatives and share them so they are accessible to academic librarians and the entire education community.
