Core Values - February - Problem Solving/Decision Making

The Core Value of Problem Solving/Decision Making is defined in the Strategic Plan as:

• Recognizes patterns
• Draws logical conclusions
• Makes recommendations for action
• Uses a well-ordered approach to solving problems
• Uses sound judgment in making decisions despite obstacles or resistance
• Gathers, utilizes, and interprets relevant information when making decisions
• Considers the risk, benefit, and impact of decisions
• Balances reasonable risks against potential gain in making decisions and proposals

To assist in focusing on this core value, Pat Sweet will be offering a seminar on problem solving and decision making. You can attend either of two sessions: February 23 at 2 pm in Room 421, or February 24 at 2 pm in Room 028.

After the session, write a post in your blog reflecting on the material that Pat presents.

Thing 8: YouTube

You already know about YouTube, right? You use it all the time, I'm sure. So this will be easy, and fun.

For this Thing:

1. Find the funniest/most awesome library-related video on YouTube, and
2. Embed it in your blog (not a link, the actual video)

There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

Thing 7: Skype

This time, it's easy. Just go look at Skype, it's at http://www.skype.com. Try it out.



On your blog:

• Tell us who you talked to and what it was like.
• Think of any uses for Skype the library could take advantage of
