Planning for Results
Registration Information
Meeting Agenda
Overview
If you thought that planning was too hard or too time-consuming to be practical for your library, this workshop is for you! The Public Library Association’s The NEW Planning for Results: A Streamlined Approach (ALA Editions, 2001) incorporates the experiences and recommendations of many of the librarians who used the 1997 version of Planning for Results to make this a uniquely informative planning tool. The NEW Planning for Results presents a simplified process that most library managers can complete in a few short months.
PLA is sponsoring a one-day workshop taught by the author of the book in New Orleans, Louisiana on October 19, 2004. This hands-on workshop will introduce public library staff members to this streamlined planning process.
Participants will leave this workshop with the skills needed to begin to plan for results!
