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 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.

Presenter:

Geo Flores holds a Master of Music and Master of Library Science from the University of Texas, San Antonio and the University of North Texas respectively. He has previously has previously presented on the topic of the lack of BIPOC representation in Music Librarianship at the Music Library Association's Annual Conference and on adapting troop leading procedures to library project management at the American Library Association's Core Forum conference which has been voted to be part of the Best of Core Forum Series.
