1) INCREASE YOUR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Work that focuses on public service can be both rewarding and costly. Being mindful of our own work narrative and understanding how we deal with conflict are two key areas that require our attention. The Washington State Library presents Self-Talk and Emotional Intelligence: Improving your Work Narrative.

Participants in this 3-hour workshop will learn how to:

• Identify and adjust their self-talk;
• Understand their personal work mission;
• Develop awareness of cycles of conflict; and
• Improve clarity and effectiveness of communication.

This free workshop is still available in Seattle (Feb. 27, 28) and Richland (March 15, both a.m. and p.m.). For more information and to register, visit sos.wa.gov/q/EI.

—————————————————————————————————————

2) FINANCIAL LITERACY – FACTS VS. FICTION

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) protects consumers from unfair and deceptive business practices by filing lawsuits against scammers and distributing educational materials about how to avoid scams. Financial literacy is a key component in helping consumers recognize and prevent problems. Join us for the March First Tuesdays webinar, Financial Literacy: Facts vs. Fiction, 9:00 a.m. March 6.

FTC staff will discuss how to spot and avoid financial scams and how consumers and consumer advocates can access the FTC’s free financial literacy materials. Topics will include using financial planning resources; obtaining credit and credit repair services; laws regulating debt relief and debt collection; and scams preying on vulnerable consumers. Many of the free resources are also available in Spanish. Presented by Richard McKewen, Nadine Samter, and Tina Kondo, Federal Trade Commission.

Register for this First Tuesdays session.

—————————————————————————————————————

3) FREE EXHIBITS – WILL TRAVEL

Exhibits available to travel! Legacy Washington is happy to share their exhibits with historical institutions, schools, and libraries throughout the State of Washington. Available free (except transportation). Please contact Amber Raney for more information: 360-902-4126.

The two exhibits currently available are:

• Washington 1889 – A year of big dreams, big burns, and big politics, 1889 captured a place in our history as a time of great prosperity and adversity. The face of Washington changed. Pioneers arrived and townsfolk rebuilt from the rubble. Finally, on November 11, 1889, Washington rose as the 42nd state in the union.
• Who Are We? Washington’s Kaleidoscope – Is there a quintessential Washingtonian? Hardly. History has made clear that we’re more than our identity—more than techies or coffee lovers or outdoor enthusiasts. We’re a kaleidoscope, a cultural melting pot. We live in a place constantly reinventing itself.

—————————————————————————————————————

4) LC – FREE TO USE AND REUSE

The Library of Congress’ Free to Use and Reuse page is making public domain and rights-clear content easier to find and use.

One of the Library of Congress’ biggest challenges is letting users know about all of the content available at loc.gov. Another challenge is letting them know what they can do with it (in a nice way). The Library is working on several fronts to improve the visibility of public domain and rights-clear content and moved one step in that direction with the launch of its Free to Use and Reuse page.

The page features themed sets of content (such as travel posters, presidential portraits, Civil War drawings) that are all free to use and reuse, meaning there are no known copyright restrictions associated with this content. In other words, you can do whatever you want with it. Read the blog posting for more information.

—————————————————————————————————————

5) OCLC – CONNECTING WITH YOUR COOPERATIVE

Membership with OCLC brings many benefits to a library and its users. High quality research, participation in governance, and the value of shared resources. Join this free, live, one-hour webinar, hosted by Meryl Cinnamon, OCLC Member Relations Liaison, to get up-to-the-minute information about what’s going on at your cooperative. You will:

• Learn about new research, governance, and membership activities;
• Hear high-level updates on OCLC products and services; and
• Explore new opportunities to engage with your cooperative.

Connecting with Your Cooperative: Wednesday, February 28, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. PST; Register.

How can librarians help consumers and patients navigate the growing field of wellness applications? Across all mobile platforms, fitness and health applications are some of the most popular and most frequently downloaded. By better understanding how to evaluate applications, librarians can help patients and patrons make informed decisions about the apps that they choose to download.

“There’s an App for That! Consumer Apps for Health & Fitness” is the next session of the PNR Rendezvous monthly webinar from NNLM PNR. No registration is required.
