Best of Core Forum: Adapt Troop Leading Procedures to Library Projects
eLearning
This webinar takes the US Army's Troop Leading Procedures and adapts them to a library setting, showing how they were successfully implemented in my institution's recent large weeding project. This was a multi-faceted project that included weeding 10,000 books from our 50,000+ collection, moving certain collections to new locations, and creating two new collections: a dedicated Fiction collection and a Graphic Novels/Manga Collection.
This webinar was previously presented in-person as a session at the 2024 Core Forum. We are hosting this webinar, with the session adapted and presented live as a virtual event, to extend its reach.
Learning Outcomes:
Attendees will be able to leave this webinar with an understanding of various military concepts regarding project management as they correlate to library project management and a framework within which to plan library projects.
Who Should Attend: The primary audience for this webinar is library leadership at any level with first-time supervisors finding this particularly helpful.
