Hello, from snowy DeKalb, IL.

Hi Dee Ann - not much better "downstate" - snowing in Decatur too.

Snowing for the second time in Morris, IL

You will all receive a link to the recording of this webinar, via email, either later today or tomorrow.

no questions

I'd love more info about project management certification options - any advice on finding or selecting a program?

Can you describe how you document and archive the projects as you go along? All on computer? Paper files?

Carla, could you please share what kind of project have you managed?

How useful is CAPM certification in terms of librarianship as a career? Or is it just a stepping stone to full PMP certification?

what if a project was already started but not really with any defined start end, person in charge, or any one person asked to manage this would it be helpful to go back and do those thing?

I'm not sure how I feel about projects needing to have a set end-date. Can you expand more on that? Is it just to make sure it gets done if you have folks who need a deadline to get things done, or if there's an important date when it needs to be completed (like beginning of semester)..?

Thank you!

I don't think the end date needs to be set in stone but more like a goal to get something accomplished by a certain date, our library is doing a major weeding project and it keeps getting stopped and started, the END goal is to rearrange stacks within the building but that cannot be done until weeding is finalized

Yeah- we're starting a huge weeding project too. :)

what I am really asking is if it's worth while to go back and set this up more formally

Thank you, Carla.

Thank you, Carla! Looking forward to learning more about PM tools and more. :)

Thank you!

I do have a masters in Library Science as well

We weeded for three years. Now, we are doing an inventory of our 68,000 books and then, we will shift the whole collection because of all of the empty shelves.. I do have an end date to make sure I keep the project moving.

Thanks!

Thank you Carla this has really been helpful.

Thank you so much. This was great and I'm looking forward to the other sessions. Stay well all.

Any advice about how to balance leading the team but also allowing the team help brainstorm the best way to perform the work required to complete a project? I’m thinking about a project I’m about to start leading for developing a new service, so there is some ideation involved throughout and I want the team to feel like they are helping make decisions and not just being told what to do and when (if that makes sense)

Thank you so much for todays introduction session! I cannot wait to learn more.

Thank you, Carla and team! I've done other PM workshops, but really appreciate the library focus to project management. Looking forward to future sessions!

Looking forward to the rest of the sessions - thank you for today’s overview!

Thank you!
